BMJ open, 14(10), Article e083908. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2024-083908

INTRODUCTION: The diagnosis of asthma is often based on characteristic patterns of symptoms in the absence of an alternative explanation, resulting in over and under diagnosis. Therefore, diagnostic guidelines usually recommend including confirmation...
