[Annual progress on bronchial asthma diagnosis and treatment in 2023].

Bronchial asthma (referred to as asthma) is a common chronic inflammatory airway disease mediated by various immune cells, cytokines, and inflammatory mediators. This disease exhibits considerable heterogeneity in clinical symptoms, severity, and treatment outcomes, posing significant challenges to the diagnosis and treatment of asthma. This article reviews the literature on both basic and clinical research in asthma, published from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023. The review focuses on summarizing and elucidating four aspects of asthma: pathogenesis, diagnosis, assessment, and treatment. The aim is to provide more evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment and offer new perspectives for future research.
