The future of asthma research and development: a roadmap from the European Asthma Research and Innovation Partnership (EARIP)
Open accessAbstract
Asthma is highly prevalent and associated with high morbidity and mortality. It affects 30–50 million people in Europe, often starting in infancy and persisting throughout life. Asthma is a major global health challenge, affecting more than 300 million people worldwide and at least 10% of all Europeans [1]. People with asthma live at risk of life-threatening asthma attacks, leading to over 500 000 hospitalisations each year. Approximately 5–10% of asthma cases are so severe that current treatments do not work. Asthma outcomes will be transformed if the priorities in the EARIP research roadmap are addressed Thanks go to all EARIP partners: Sebastian Johnston, Sven-Erik Dahlen, Giuseppe De Carlo, Susanna Palkonen, Luis Garcia-Marcos, Nikos Papadopoulos, Aggeliki Androutsopoulou, Cezmi Akdis, Maciek Kupczyk, John Riley, David Myles, Mark Levick, Ratko Djukanovic, Piotr Kuna; and to the remaining workshop participants and PICO question developers: Guy Joos, Hilary Pinnock, Antonius Schneider, Liliana Silva, Jacky Smith, Otto Spranger, Peter Sterk, Phil Taverner, Ian Adcock, Peter Barnes, Elisabeth Bel, Breda Flood, Liliya Gentet, Christina Gratziou, Ian Hall, Rob Horne, Katherine Cowan, Leanne Metcalf, Erika Kennington, Courtney Coleman, Liam Heaney, Hector Ortega, Samantha Sonnappa, Rik Loijmans, Ildiko Horvath, John Riley, Sarah Kirby, Lucy Yardley, Ben Ainsworth, Paul Cullinan, Angela Simpson. The final thanks go to the EARIP Patient Advisory Group and all who completed the online surveys.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
