[Expert consensus on management strategy of thunderstorm asthma in Chinese adults (2026 edition)].

In recent years, thunderstorm asthma events have occurred with increasing frequency, posing significant health risks to populations in China and worldwide. These events have evolved from individual clinical episodes into population-level, abrupt public health threats with epidemic-like characteristics. To mitigate their impact, there is an urgent need to transition from a treatment-oriented approach to a comprehensive strategy emphasizing prevention, early warning, and integrated medical-public health collaboration. This expert consensus was developed by specialists organized by the Committee of Integrated Medicine and Prevention of the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association. It addresses key issues including the pathogenesis of thunderstorm asthma, comprehensive prevention, diagnosis and treatment, emergency response, and multi-sectoral coordination. Based on current evidence and practical experience, the consensus proposes a systematic management framework that integrates risk monitoring, early warning, targeted intervention, and clinical care. By promoting a coordinated, multi-source data-driven approach and strengthening the linkage between public health systems and clinical services, this consensus aims to enhance the overall capacity for prevention and response to thunderstorm asthma, and to reduce its impact on population health and healthcare systems.
