FIXED AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION IN PATIENTS WITH BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
In recent years, a variant of bronchial asthma (BA) with fixed bronchial obstruction is actively discussed. The aim of the study was to identify factors associated with fixed bronchial obstruction in patients with asthma in real clinical practice. The results of the study. Fixed bronchial obstruction is more common in severe asthma, in older patients, smokers and in the long course of the disease. In this phenotype, patients have lower control, a greater frequency of exacerbations, hospitalizations and persistent disability than with reversible bronchial obstruction.
