An Update on Asthma and COPD
The course highlights the importance of personalized and holistic care in asthma and COPD. The Swiss Severe Asthma Registry provides valuable real-world insights into disease management and treatment outcomes. Biological therapies have significantly improved severe asthma care and are emerging as promising options for selected COPD patients, particularly those with eosinophilic inflammation. Finally, sexual health was emphasized as an often overlooked but important aspect of quality of life in COPD, highlighting the need for open communication and patient-centered care.
