# Talk:Asthma

I am planning on editing the Asthma page to include e-cigarettes/vaping as one of the potential identifying triggers. As e-cigarettes and vaping have become more common in recent years, I have been reading about the effects it can have on respiratory diseases and how it can be a trigger. I will be using research articles as my sources. Elvar002 (talk) 04:31, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Great. Please ensure that the sources you will use are high-quality, peer-reviewed medical studies. Chronos.Zx (talk) 16:51, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

The article still has really good bones, but the median source age is 2011. Anybody here feel up to the task to compare the article with newer clinical guidelines and review papers? For instance, using the 2024 NICE guidelines, rather than the 2007 ones currently cited in the article. We're starting a project at WP:WikiProject Medicine to get all our top-importance articles up to date. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 13:46, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Add "A meta-analysis has concluded that short-term pollen exposure significantly increases the risk of allergic and asthmatic symptoms." to the 'Environmental' subsection under the 'Causes' content header.

This top-importance Medicine article was listed in 2013, and has not been kept up-to-date. Opening the GAR in the hope of finding someone who would like to give the article a once-over

In contrast to WP:MEDDATE, the article's median source year is 2011
The economics section is US-focussed, and ends in 2010
The 2007 NICE guidelines are cited, even though the 2024 guidelines are out
The genetic evidence stops in 2005(!). Surely, more is known now about which genes contribute to asthma risk. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 07:13, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
