哮喘影响全球约3亿人，约占美国成年人的7.5%。哮喘的特征在于气道炎症、可变气流阻塞和支气管高反应性。哮喘的诊断是临床诊断，病史和体格检查是重要的，但客观的措施，如肺功能测试，可以用来帮助诊断。有多种与哮喘相关的合并症，包括鼻炎、鼻窦炎、胃食管反流病、阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停和抑郁症。哮喘通常有过敏成分，患者教育至关重要。
Asthma affects approximately 300 million people worldwide and approximately 7.5% of adults in the United States. Asthma is characterized by inflammation of the airways, variable airflow obstruction, and bronchial hy-perresponsiveness. The diagnosis of asthma is a clinical one with the history and physical examination being significant, but objective measures, such as pulmonary function testing, can be used to aid in the diagnosis. There are multiple associated comorbidities with asthma, including rhinitis, sinusitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and depression. There is often an allergic component of asthma, and patient education is vital.
