For the first time since 2007, the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) Coordinating Committee, coordinated by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has updated its asthma guidelines. The full document, 2020 Focused Updates to the Asthma Management Guidelines: A Report from the NAEPP Coordinating Committee Expert Panel Working Group, was published in the December issue of The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI), an official journal of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI).

“The publication of the 2020 Focused Updates to the Asthma Management Guidelines represents a significant advance in asthma care. Inclusion of implementation guidance and shared decision making will enable providers to assure optimal care for their patients with asthma. I would like to thank Dr. Giselle Mosnaim for her work as the AAAAI representative to the NAEPP Coordinating Committee. In addition, a special thanks to AAAAI members Drs. Robert Lemanske, Michael Schatz, Alan Baptist, Kathryn Blake, and Edward Brooks who served on the NAEPP Coordinating Committee Expert Panel Working Group,” said AAAAI President Mary Beth Fasano, MD, MSPH, FAAAAI. The newly published asthma guidelines contain updated recommendations that cover the following six different topics.
