Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Studie 1: Characterizing patients with adult onset asthma with respect to clinical, functional and inflammatory parameters. Subtypes will be defined by cluster analysis; risk factors of disease and poor quality of life will be defined.
Studie 2: Clinical, functional and inflammatory parameters will be compared between 100 patients with recent onset asthma (1-5yr) and 100 patients with longstading adult onset asthma (>5yr).
Studie 3: Three well defined subtypes will be compared by measurements of small airway function and sputum cells.

Background summary
Adult onset asthma is a poorly understood heterogeneous condition. It differs from childhood asthma that it is often more severe, less responsive to therapy and more likely to result in fixed airflow limitation. Several clinical subtypes have been described but it is unknown whether these are associated with distinct types of airway inflammation, responses to therapy or disease outcome. Studies suggest that eosinophilic inflammation that persist despite corticosteroid treatment is a risk factor of severe disease and accelerated decline in lung function, especially in the first year of the disease.
This project is the cross sectional part of a large scale longitudinal follow-up survey in patients with adult onset asthma. The objective of this part of the survey is to define different phenotypes and to detect risk factors of severity.
Study objective
Phenotyping of patients with adult onset asthma by linking clinical, functional and molecular markers will:
1. Reveal distinct risk factors of severity and poor quality of life;
2. Provide evidence that recent onset asthma in adulthood is relatively more severe;
3. Show that different subtypes of adult onset asthma can be identified by specific functional or non-invasive inflammatory markers.
Study design
All data will be collected during 1 visit.
