Asthma is the most common chronic medical condition in pregnancy. Asthma exacerbations in pregnancy are unpredictable, and are associated with adverse maternal and fetal perinatal outcomes such as preterm birth and low birthweight. Goals of asthma management in pregnancy are to establish effective asthma control and prevent exacerbations. Optimising the management of asthma in pregnancy is an important goal of practice and future research.Treatable traits is a precision medicine paradigm proposed for the management of airways diseases, which holistically addresses the complexity and heterogeneity of airways disease. It is an individualised treatment approach that aims to improve outcomes. This makes treatable traits well suited for pregnant women with asthma, who have a high prevalence of obesity, mental health conditions, poor symptom perception and suboptimal asthma management skills including low treatment adherence. These traits are measurable and treatable. In this review, we explore current knowledge on the burden of asthma, maternal and perinatal consequences of asthma during pregnancy, the treatable traits paradigm, the prevalence of treatable traits in pregnant women with asthma, and consider how the treatable traits paradigm can be integrated into the management of asthma in pregnancy.

Purpose: Oral corticosteroids (OCS) are recommended for the treatment of exacerbations in people with COPD; however, high cumulative lifetime doses (≥1000mg prednisolone-equivalent) are associated with adverse health effects. This issue is well defined in asthma but is less well understood in COPD. The aim of this study was to examine cumulative OCS dispensed to people with COPD over 12 months.

Introduction: Technological advances have led to the proliferation of lung function assessment techniques beyond spirometry in most countries. At the same time, new knowledge of respiratory physiology has allowed an expansion of lung function parameters, requiring an integrated approach to interpreting results.
Areas Covered: This review addresses the major pulmonary function tests (PFTs) used in clinical practice, new concepts regarding reference values, and reformulations of terminology for defining standards of lung function impairment.

Purpose: Oral corticosteroids (OCS) are an effective treatment for severe uncontrolled asthma or asthma exacerbations, but frequent bursts or long-term use carry serious and sometimes irreversible adverse effects, or complications such as adrenal insufficiency upon discontinuation. Our aim was to survey people with asthma on their experiences of, and attitudes towards, using OCS.
Patients And Methods: This study was a national descriptive cross-sectional survey of people with asthma in Australia.
