Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD), also known as Samter's Triad, is a chronic medical condition with co-existing Asthma, Sinus Disease with Recurrent Nasal Polyps and Sensitivity to Aspirin and other Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Between 1.2 million and 1.6 million people in the United States may have this condition, including 7% of adults with asthma, 14% of adults with severe asthma and upto 30% of adults with asthma and nasal polyps.

ASTHMA: Is your asthma being managed scientifically? CARE combines a) Clinical Asthma Control Scores with b) Measurements of Airway Caliber/Flow and c) FENO (Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide). FENO levels significantly correlate with airway eosinophilic inflammation. It may be helpful in identifying true asthma from 'asthma-like' conditions, and in determining appropriate use of asthma inhalers.
