Description
Summary:The therapeutic goal in chronic airway diseases is shifting from symptom control to disease remission. Disease-modifying therapies, including biologics and allergen immunotherapy, have made remission achievable in patients with severe asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), or allergic rhinitis (AR). This EUFOREA consensus aims to establish practical guidance for inducing and maintaining remission in global airway diseases. An international panel of experts in pneumology, rhinology, and allergology convened in Rome (October 2025) to review current evidence and develop consensus statements. The panel achieved consensus on key principles: (i) remission is a therapeutic target independent of disease severity prior to treatment initiation and should not be reserved for severe cases; (ii) CRSwNP with nonallergic eosinophilic asthma, and AR with allergic asthma should be considered features of a single disease rather than comorbidities; (iii) remission should be assessed by each subspecialty separately while warranting combined approaches; (iv) pragmatic definitions prioritizing achievability and clinical utility are recommended; and (v) a 4-week recall window is preferred to assess symptom control within the evaluation of remission and a 12-month period is suggested as the minimal period to define remission. Remission represents an ambitious yet achievable goal, with practical guidance for optimizing patient outcomes.
