Mild persistent asthma

Mild persistent asthma is a clinical severity classification of chronic asthma affecting the lower respiratory tract in pediatric and adult populations It is pathophysiologically driven by chronic airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and variable airflow limitation

Mild persistent asthma is a clinical severity classification of chronic asthma affecting the lower respiratory tract in pediatric and adult populations Clinically, it is defined by daytime respiratory symptoms—such as wheezing, dyspnea, chest tightness, or cough—occurring more than twice per week but less than daily, and nighttime awakenings occurring three to four times per month

It is pathophysiologically driven by chronic airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and variable airflow limitation

Clinically, it is defined by daytime respiratory symptoms—such as wheezing, dyspnea, chest tightness, or cough—occurring more than twice per week but less than daily, and nighttime awakenings occurring three to four times per month Patients typically experience minor interference with normal daily activities and demonstrate preserved baseline pulmonary function, generally maintaining a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) of at least 80 percent of predicted
