Asthma is often associated with various comorbidities. The most frequently reported asthma comorbid conditions include rhinitis, sinusitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, obstructive sleep apnea, hormonal disorders and psychopathologies.
Given the relationship between allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma, it can be hypothesized that reducing inflammation in the upper airway with intranasal corticosteroid (INCS) medications may improve asthma outcomes.
AR is the most common respiratory disease worldwide and is clinically defined by the presence of nasal symptoms induced by exposure to allergens, particularly nasal obstruction and pruritus, runny nose and sneezing.

We investigated predictive biomarkers of disease evolution in a large cohort of children with SAR.
Purpose of review: Asthma is a heterogenous disease associated with different phenotypes and endotypes. The unmet needs with severe asthma have led to the emergence of potential therapeutic targets beyond the existing therapies.
Background: The aim of this study was to describe differences between allergic and non-allergic asthma in a large community-based sample of Danish adolescents and adults.
The Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) initiative commenced during a World Health Organization workshop in 1999.
Patients with uncontrolled severe persistent asthma have greater morbidity, greater use of health care resources, and more impairment in health-related quality of life when compared with their peers with well-controlled disease.
