The first part will be a comparative cross-sectional study to identify the frequency of ILO and other comorbidites among participants with asthma compared to a group of reference subjects without asthma, matched for age- and gender and race.
The second part will be a longitudinally observational study study following participants for one year after the cross-sectional study. The Maat-scores ILO-symptoms and asthma-outcomes longitudinally will be evaluated, .
Inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO) is characterized by inappropriate closure of the structures of the larynx causing reduced airflow. The symptoms are breathing difficulties that resemble those seen in asthmatic patients, such as dyspnea, coughing and stridor. ILO may be diagnosed by the continuous laryngoscopy during exercise test (CLE-test), where the larynx is visualized live on video as the patient runs to exhaustion on a treadmill whilst having a laryngoscope placed through the nose.
The prevalence of ILO in asthmatic patients will be assesed by preforming a CLE-test twice in all participants at baseline and again after one year. Participant will be given visual feedback and instructed in breathing techniques. Others common comorbidities will be assessed by questionnaires and clinical interview. All patients with asthma will have a respiratory polygraph recording.
Changes in ILO-symptoms and asthma-symptoms and outcomes will be assessed after 1 year.

The sample size of the cohort with severe asthma will be: All patients with severe asthma followed in our clinic for severe asthma estimated to be around 80 participants, of them, we hope to recruit at least 40 to perform the CLE-test, and we plan to recruit 40 participants with mild asthma and 40 age- and gender matched control subjects without asthma
