title = "Evaluation of difficult-to-treat and severe asthma in adults",
abstract = "This chapter reviews how to evaluate difficult-to-treat and severe asthma. We outline how to confirm a diagnosis of asthma and the evaluation of factors that can make asthma appear resistant to treatment, and discuss comorbidities and other factors that are not necessarily part of asthma but that can make asthma difficult to treat. We also review how to characterise patients who have severe asthma so that the most appropriate treatment can be considered.",
