Clinical predictors of remission and persistence of adult-onset asthma.

Background: Adult-onset asthma is an important but relatively understudied asthma phenotype and little is known about its natural course and prognosis. The remission rate is believed to be low, and it is still obscure which factors predict remission or persistence of the disease.

Objective: This study sought to determine the remission rate and identify predictors of persistence and remission of adult-onset asthma.
