Abstract
Patients with severe refractory asthma aged â¥65 years exhibit better clinical and health care outcomes and have lower blood eosinophils compared to those aged <65 years. Severe refractory adult-onset asthma is associated with similar levels of asthma control, higher blood eosinophils and less atopy than severe refractory childhood-onset asthma.
