Asthma incidence reduced after septal deviation correction
Asthma and its management by medical professionals for several decades has led to newer management techniques and recent findings researchers have reported that the incidence of asthma was higher in individuals with septal deviation. The study findings were published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice on November 12, 2021.
Studies suggest potential mechanistic links between upper and lower respiratory tract disorders. However, information is scarce regarding the impact of septal deviation (SD) on lower respiratory tract pathophysiology. Also, there is limited information regarding the association between SD and asthmTherefore, Dr Yong Chul Lee and his team conducted a study evaluating the potential impact of SD on the incidence of asthma and examined whether surgical correction of SD (septoplasty) affects the incidence of asthma in SD.
