    Key Takeaways• The 2020 Focused Updates to the Asthma Management Guidelines: A Report from the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Coordinating Committee Expert Panel Working Group provides updated recommendations for 6 topics related to the management of individuals with asthma. • The classification of asthma severity and asthma control, as well as the concept of utilizing a stepwise approach to pharmacologic treatment, were not updated from the Expert Panel Report 3, released in 2007. • However, important updates in preferred therapies for intermittent and persistent asthma at treatment steps 1 through 5 were suggested. • Recommendations regarding biologic therapy were not included in the 2020 update, as only evidence and US Food and Drug Administration approvals through October 2018 were considered. • The most recent 2021 Global Initiative for Asthma guidelines are not included in this review but can be used in a complementary manner to assist primary care clinicians to optimize decisions regarding the care of patients with asthma.
