Erratum

Following the publication of our article [1], we noticed that Dr Flavia C. L. Hoyte had inadvertently been omitted from the author list. FCLH declares she has no conflicts of interest. The author list has now been corrected and the amended authors contributions section included below.

AY initiated and led the development of the paper as primary author, contributing to all of the sections and unifying the document. SCH and STH were co-project leaders. SHC wrote the Introduction. JC and CEB wrote on the impact of asthma. LPB and GWC wrote on management of asthma. RK, FCLH, PB, LF, AK, KR, and LR wrote on the aging lung. DKL, SHC, SP, and GJR wrote on diagnosis. JBS wrote on life expectancy. All authors reviewed and approved the final document.
