The simultaneous testing of multiple biomarkers during baseline patient assessment and disease follow-up is highly recommended. Utilizing cost-effective tests, physicians can estimate the prevalence of severe Type 2 asthma, categorize patients into distinct phenotypes (eosinophilic, allergic, or mixed), and consequently identify and prescribe the most suitable therapeutic interventions. This approach also facilitates the ongoing evaluation and adjustment of the treatment strategies based on individual patient responses.
