In: Military Medicine, Volume 189, Issue 3, September/October 2024, pg. 137-148Summary: Asthma is the most common diagnosis in military personnel who endorse chronic dyspnea. Service members have unique occupational risk factors, and there is concern that airborne exposures in the deployed environment as well as other occupational exposures may contribute to the development of asthma or exacerbate pre-existing disease. Asthma phenotyping with clinical biomarkers such as serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels and eosinophil (EOS) counts is useful in defining treatment strategies for the management of asthma. This study sought to characterize the phenotype of medically separated military personnel with career-limiting asthma to define potential management strategies and guide future research evaluating the unexplained prevalence of asthma in this population.

Asthma is the most common diagnosis in military personnel who endorse chronic dyspnea. Service members have unique occupational risk factors, and there is concern that airborne exposures in the deployed environment as well as other occupational exposures may contribute to the development of asthma or exacerbate pre-existing disease.

This study sought to characterize the phenotype of medically separated military personnel with career-limiting asthma to define potential management strategies and guide future research evaluating the unexplained prevalence of asthma in this population.
