Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are essential in assessing disease severity, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring disease progression. The 2022 ERS/ATS technical standards introduced critical updates to enhance the accuracy and standardization of interpretation of pulmonary function findings. These modifications include the adoption of Global Lung Initiative reference values, the transition from race-based to raceneutral equations, the replacement of percent-predicted values with z-scores, and a redefinition of bronchodilator responsiveness criteria. Additionally, new spirometric patterns such as dysanapsis and preserved ratio impaired spirometry have been recognized, improving the detection and characterization of airflow limitation. These updates significantly impact asthma management by refining disease phenotyping, improving diagnostic precision, and tailoring treatment strategies. Furthermore, advancements in artificial intelligence are expected to enhance predictive analytics and early intervention strategies in assessment of pulmonary function. However, challenges remain with respect to the adoption of these modifications in clinical practice, particularly regarding the classification of disease severity and the impact of race-neutral equations on diagnostic thresholds. Future research is necessary to validate the long-term implications of these changes on asthma outcomes.

The standard approach involves symptom management, reducing infection through immunoglobulin replacement therapy and prophylactic antimicrobials, and treating immune dysregulation with immunomodulators. This approach considerably hampers effective management of APDS, as the diverse nature of the disease necessitates a personalized strategy, in which the advantages and risks of immunosuppression are weighed against the potential for recurrent infections and lymphoproliferative complications. To address these challenges, a group of Spanish experts in the management of IEIs, including APDS, collaborated to develop Delphi-based consensus recommendations.
