The pandemic has prompted an increase in research examining the effects of COVID-19 on asthma patients, including complications, management strategies, and healthcare access.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacotherapy:
Research on conventional asthma treatments, such as inhaled corticosteroids and short-acting beta-agonists, appears to be waning in favor of studies focusing on innovative biologics and personalized medicine. - Single-Disease Focus:
There is a noticeable decline in studies that examine asthma in isolation, with more research now integrating the study of allergies and other comorbidities, indicating a shift towards a more holistic understanding of patient health. - Basic Science without Clinical Translation:
While fundamental research remains essential, there seems to be a decreasing trend in basic science studies that do not directly inform clinical practice or patient outcomes, as the journal emphasizes translational research. - Epidemiological Studies Focused on Older Cohorts:
Research concentrating solely on older populations is diminishing, as the journal increasingly features studies on pediatric and diverse populations, reflecting a broader public health perspective.
