Ämnesbeskrivning

Airway diseases such as asthma and carbon are complex diseases where disease proceedings and clinical outcomes can be difficult to predict. In order to increase understanding of the long-term consequences and treatment of the diseases and treatment in clinical practice, large epidemiological studies are needed with longitudinal data. The Swedish airway register (SIGN) is a central resource that enables clinical and epidemiological studies of patients with asthma and coal in Swedish routine care, including study of disease processes, treatment, treatment patterns, clinical outcomes and forecasts. West Sweden Asthma Study (WSAs) is a complementary resource for population-based epidemiological research on asthma and lung diseases. Together, these data sources create good opportunities to answer a wide range of clinically relevant and epidemiological research issues on asthma and coal.

The service also includes other epidemiological research issues in both coal and asthma.

The results will be published in scientifically reviewed journals and presented at national and international scientific meetings.
