“…This is also important for the patient's quality of life as prescribed treatment may be inappropriate or ineffective if asthma symptoms are aggravated or mimicked by a comorbid illness 17 . Bardin and colleagues provide a comprehensive review on comorbidities in severe asthma in this issue 18 …”

“…Comorbid conditions (comorbidities) in asthma-such as rhinitis, vocal cord dysfunction (VCD), gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), psychiatric disorders, obesity and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)-are common and often overlooked, leading to clinical confusion and complication of diagnosis 1 . Despite widespread occurrence, there does not appear to be a consensus on the definition of comorbid conditions in the literature 2 .…”

Comorbid conditions (comorbidities) can complicate the diagnosis and management of asthma. In different age groups, comorbid conditions can present varying challenges, including diagnostic confusion due to mimicking asthma symptoms, exacerbation of asthma symptoms, therapy for comorbid conditions affecting asthma or therapy for asthma affecting these conditions. This review aims to summarise some common comorbid conditions with asthma, such as rhinitis, vocal cord dysfunction, gastro-oesophageal reflux, psychiatric disorders, obesity and obstructive sleep apnoea, and discuss their prevalence, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, highlighting any differences in how they impact children and adults. Overall, there is a lack of data on the impact of treating comorbid conditions on asthma outcomes and further studies are needed to guide age-appropriate asthma management in the presence of these conditions.

“…In patients with poorly controlled asthma, there is a high prevalence of comorbidities (Box 5) that contribute to symptoms, affect quality of life and increase the risk of exacerbations 23 , 32 . ‐ 34 Opinion leaders have recently proposed that many comorbidities and risk factors associated with severe asthma are considered “treatable traits” and that their treatment may lead to positive clinical outcomes 12 , 35 , 36 …”

“…23,[32][33][34] Opinion leaders have recently proposed that many comorbidities and risk factors associated with severe asthma are considered "treatable traits" and that their treatment may lead to positive clinical outcomes. 12,35,36 Overall, GPs are better placed to assist in and coordinate the management of the range of comorbidities contributing to severe asthma, including corticosteroid-related morbidities. 37 Many of these comorbidities are chronic in nature and require regular ongoing assessments that are better facilitated in a primary care setting.…”
