ERS er det største videnskabelige og kliniske selskab for respiratoriske sygdomme i Europa, med deltager fra hele verden og vi er glade for at kunne dele nogle højdepunkter!
Barcelona 2026: United for better breathing
Med årets tema, United for better breathing, ønsker ERS at sætte fokus på betydningen af samarbejde mellem patienter, sundhedsprofessionelle og forskere. God behandling forudsætter, at forholdet mellem sundhedsprofessionelle og patienter fungerer godt. ERS fremhæver tre centrale budskaber:
- Patienten bidrager – patienten er en ligeværdig partner, som skal have mulighed for aktivt at præge egen behandling gennem fælles beslutningstagning og gensidig respekt.
- Lyt først – identificér og imødekom patienternes reelle behov.
- Opdag sammen – forskning baseret på samarbejde kan skabe reelle videnskabelige fremskridt og omsætte forskningsresultater til bedre sundhed.
Programmet er også udviklet i samarbejde med det europæiske patientnetværk ELF (European Lung Foundation). Derudover tilbydes en supplerende webinarserie i seks dele, som skal give en bedre forståelse af, hvordan øget patientinddragelse kan føre til bedre sundhed. Webinarserien findes på ersnet.org/webinars.
Vores medicinske team var til stede og deler her deres opsummeringer af udvalgte sessioner.

Sammendrag fra ERS Satellite Symposium 2026
ERS (European Respiratory Society) tilbyder videreuddannelse inden for alle de lungemedicinske områder. Den 3. marts blev der afholdt en digital uddannelsesdag med fokus på KOL, astma, ILS (interstitielle lungesygdomme) samt lidelser relateret til søvn og vejrtrækning. Mere end 3.500 deltagere fra 120 forskellige lande deltog – nogle for at optjene 7 CME-point – men vi fra den medicinske afdeling hos Chiesi Nordic deltog for at holde os opdateret om den seneste udvikling inden for KOL og astma.
Du kan se alle præsentationerne on demand på https://channel.ersnet.org
Højdepunkter fra ERS kongressen 2025
27. september – 1. oktober 2025
Lungesundhed i et globalt perspektiv
Hvert tredje medlem af European Respiratory Society er bosiddende uden for Europa, hvilket gør kongressen til en fremragende platform for global vidensdeling. ERS ønskermed årets tema, Respiratory Health around the world, at sætte fokus på globale spørgsmål om, hvordan vi mindsker den globale ulighed inden for lungesundhed. De ønsker at belyse spørgsmål, der gavner lungesundheden for hele verdens befolkning.
Resuméer fra ERS Satellite 4. marts 2025 – Lungens udvikling
Lung health starts early
The foetal lungs develop in five different stages before birth, so the timing and type of insults to this development will determine the impact. New data shows that antenatal insults may impact lung function over decades. Læs mere
Preschool wheeze – towards targeted strategies
Preschool wheeze is a heterogenous condition with multiple underlying pathophysiological mechanisms that result in similar clinical manifestations. Frequent severe exacerbations is linked to high risk of developing asthma. Læs mere
Consequences of vaping and e-cigarette smoking in children and adolescents
Elif Dagli’s talk about e-cigarettes sparked a lot of interest in the Q&A session and it’s clear that we currently have more questions than answers on what risks are entailed and what can be done to stop the trend. Læs mere
Resuméer fra ERS Satellite 4. marts 2025 – Astma
Asthma comorbidities
In summary: Asthma is a complex disease worsened by comorbidities like CRSwNP, GERD, OSA, and obesity, which share inflammatory pathways and reduce treatment effectiveness. Obesity, in particular, exacerbates airway inflammation and poor asthma control. A treatable traits approach and multidisciplinary care can improve outcomes by targeting both pulmonary and non-pulmonary factors. Læs mere
Self-management of asthma
It is essential to understand the beliefs and decisions that drive behavior and decision-making around self-management of asthma. What can influence behavior and what does ‘Good Control’ look like for the asthma patient – how can self-management be improved? Læs mere

Redefining Remission in Severe Asthma: A New Framework
A new framework from Professor Celeste Porsbjerg’s team redefines remission in severe asthma by focusing on disease activity, not damage. Early, targeted treatment during the “at-risk asthma” phase may prevent lasting harm. Læs mere
Act before damage occurs – early disease in COPD
Some get off to a bad start, others simply do not realize they have a disease. And others fall into the trap of thinking that tobacco exposure could be too low to cause harm. Either way, to identify and treat persons living with COPD early in their disease is intriguing- and possible. Læs mere
The exposome and respiratory health: key takeaways from ERS 2025
Lifelong exposure to environmental factors — especially air pollution — significantly affects the risk and progression of chronic lung diseases, and understanding these interactions is key for early intervention and personalized prevention strategies. Læs mere
Role of biological sex in asthma and COPD
Women are more affected by asthma in adulthood and increasingly by COPD. Sex hormones influence immune responses in asthma, with estrogen and testosterone affecting inflammation through distinct receptor pathways. Should biological sex guide treatment decisions? Læs mere
Fighting global threats to respiratory health
Many preventable respiratory hazards are both a cause and a consequence of climate change. Fine particulate matter, especially from wildfires and indoor sources, poses serious health risks and disproportionately affects vulnerable populations. Targeted actions—such as emission reduction, improved indoor air quality, and equity-focused interventions—are essential to protect public health. Læs mere
