Current estimates suggest that as many as 300 million people worldwide have asthma and atopy. Yet despite the persistently high prevalence of disease, the most recently available data indicate improved outcomes, with fewer annual hospitalizations for asthmatic attacks and fewer asthma-related deaths. Improved management is a likely reason for this improved outcome. This article discusses recent advances and current practice in the management of asthma.
