Obstruction phenotype as a predictor of asthma severity and instability in children

Small airways instability, resulting in premature airway closure, has been recognized as a risk for asthma severity and poor control. Although spirometry has limited sensitivity for detecting small airway dysfunction, a focus on the air-trapping component of obstruction may identify a risk factor for asthma instability.
