Treatable Traits. Why, What, How?
Treatable Traits in Chronic Airway Diseases: A Precision Medicine Approach for Asthma, COPD, and Bronchiectasis
Chronic airway diseases, such as asthma, bronchiectasis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are complex and heterogeneous conditions. Hence, their assessment and management need to be personalized and precise.
