The need for a systematic approach for the management of uncontrolled asthma has recently gained broad acceptance; these approaches include strategies, such as revision of diagnosis, evaluation of adherence, and assessment of comorbidities. 1 This care pathway is pragmatically useful and can be improved even further by incorporating biomarkers that include asthma endotypes and phenotypes and predict the need for future highintensity treatment for type-2 inflammation. Periostin is an extracellular matrix protein that is detected in serum 2, 3; elevated levels of serum periostin have been associated with the Th2-type asthma phenotype/endotype, 4, 5 and its stability is repeatedly reported. 6, 7 Most intriguing is the possibility that serum periostin levels might predict the long-term prognosis of asthma currently managed with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment. Here we assessed the usefulness of serum periostin as a predictor of future treatment requirements, notably the need for treatment intensification for type-2 inflammation.Our findings are part of an observational follow-up study of the Kinki Hokuriku Airway disease Conference (KiHAC) cohort. 4 Briefly, participants in the KiHAC study included asthmatics currently undergoing treatment with ICS who were recruited between September 2009 and December 2011. Ex-smokers with more than 10 pack-years or who smoked in the year prior to enrollment or subjects with other respiratory diseases such as interstitial lung disease were not included in the original KiHAC study. In this follow-up study, we enrolled 78 patients among those who had been followed for 5 years since baseline enrollment (Supplementary Fig. 1). Patients were excluded if they had been treated with ICS< 500 mg/day at baseline (n ž 86), who were already under treatment with omalizumab at baseline (n ž 4) or who did not receive treatment with omalizumab despite frequent exacerbations due to economic reasons, being outside the permitted range, or other reasons (n ž 7). Clinical data were obtained for the 5 years after enrollment, including ICS doses, the number of concomitant drugs for asthma, systemic corticosteroid (SCS) use, introduction of omalizumab for uncontrolled allergic asthma, and the number of exacerbations during this time interval that required SCS treatment. Baseline serum periostin levels were not available to physicians.
