GINA 2019: a fundamental change in asthma management – European Respiratory Journal (free)

Original Guideline: 2019 GINA Report, Global Strategy for Asthma Management and Prevention (free PDF)

“GINA no longer recommends treating adults/adolescents with asthma with short-acting bronchodilators alone. Instead, they should receive symptom-driven (in mild asthma) or a daily corticosteroid-containing inhaler, to reduce risk of severe exacerbations.”
