Asthma Phenotypes and Comorbid Diseases in Turkish Adult Registry

A 2026 cross-sectional study analyzed data from 2,053 adults enrolled in the nationwide Turkish Asthma Action and Research (TAAR) registry. The dataset includes demographic characteristics, asthma phenotypes, comorbidities, treatment steps, and control status. It was authored by figshare admin karger and is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Analyze comorbidity distribution across asthma phenotypes (e.g., eosinophilic, allergic, NERD, obese asthma) based on phenotype categories mentioned in the description.
• Investigate associations between asthma control status and specific comorbidities like chronic rhinosinusitis or GER based on control groups described.
• Compare comorbidity burden across treatment steps (e.g., GINA step 5) based on treatment step analysis mentioned in the description.
• Examine sex differences in obesity-related comorbidities within the obese asthma phenotype based on findings described.

Strengths

• Includes data from 2,053 adult patients, providing a substantial sample size for analysis.
• Comorbidities are categorized into specific groups (upper airway, lower airway, non-respiratory, psychophysiological), enabling structured analysis.
• Comparative analyses are performed across multiple dimensions: phenotypes, treatment steps, and control groups.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (28.5 KB), indicating limited scope or highly summarized data.
