Moderate persistent asthma

Moderate persistent asthma is a clinical severity classification of chronic asthma, an inflammatory disorder of the lower respiratory tract affecting both pediatric and adult populations Pathophysiologically characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness, chronic bronchial wall inflammation, and reversible airflow obstruction, it presents with daily symptoms such as wheezing, dyspnea, chest tightness, and cough

Moderate persistent asthma is a clinical severity classification of chronic asthma, an inflammatory disorder of the lower respiratory tract affecting both pediatric and adult populations

Pathophysiologically characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness, chronic bronchial wall inflammation, and reversible airflow obstruction, it presents with daily symptoms such as wheezing, dyspnea, chest tightness, and cough

Clinically, this stage is defined by daily rescue inhaler use, nighttime awakenings occurring more than once per week, and some degree of limitation in normal daily activity

Clinically, this stage is defined by daily rescue inhaler use, nighttime awakenings occurring more than once per week, and some degree of limitation in normal daily activity Objective pulmonary function testing typically demonstrates a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) or peak expiratory flow between 60% and 80% of predicted values, alongside a reduced FEV1/FVC ratio
