New recommendations for the everyday life of specialists

The national S3 care guideline on bronchial asthma in Germany was updated in 2020. This guideline also has acceptance in Switzerland and has a very high level of evidence, but is designed for broad care among primary care physicians and non-specialists. For pneumological specialists, however, there are also aspects that are not included in the NVL. A specialist S2k guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of asthma has now been developed for them and will be published in March 2023.
