Abstract

In 2007 the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program published the Expert Panel Report 3, updating its 1997 and 2002 guidelines for the diagnosis and management of asthma with new emphasis on assessment and attainment of control. This review focuses on the Journal articles published in 2007 pertaining to risk and impairment in adult asthma and interventions to improve its control.
