TL;DR: The Diagnostic Process Is Dynamic Clinical Evaluation Radiological Evaluation Role of Surgical Lung Biopsy Unclassifiable Interstitial Pneumonia Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Evaluation Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

TL;DR: It is reasonable to expect that in most patients with asthma, control of the disease can and should be achieved and maintained, and the Global Initiative for Asthma recommends a change in approach to asthma management, with asthma control, rather than asthma severity, being the focus of treatment decisions.

TL;DR: Recommendations and guidelines on the evaluation and treatment of severe asthma in children and adults and coordinated research efforts for improved phenotyping will provide safe and effective biomarker-driven approaches to severe asthma therapy are provided.

TL;DR: New definitions for asthma control, severity, and exacerbations are developed, based on current treatment principles and clinical and research relevance, to provide a basis for a multicomponent assessment of asthma by clinicians, researchers, and other relevant groups in the design, conduct, and evaluation of clinical trials, and in clinical practice.

TL;DR: A 1-year, randomized, stratified, double-blind, parallel-group study of 3,421 patients with uncontrolled asthma, confirming that the goal of guideline-derived asthma control was achieved in a majority of the patients.
