N2 - Background: Chronic airway disease in adults may have its origin in early life. The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term prognosis of severe childhood asthma in search for an association between asthma in early life and obstructive lung disease in adulthood. Methods: This study is based on the Kongsberg cohort, which includes approximately 5000 children with severe asthma with a 4-month stay at the asthma care facility in Kongsberg, Norway during the years 1950 to 1979. An on average 60-year observational study based on a follow-up examination will be performed including questionnaires, blood samples, and tests of lung function and bronchial responsiveness. Blood samples will be stored in a biobank. In addition, we will conduct further analyses of the cohort based on nationwide register data, including socio-economic parameters and mortality. Discussion: Chronic airway disease is associated with substantial burden for both the individual patient and society. Our knowledge of early life origins of chronic airway disease later in life has been increasing in recent decades but is still limited. By exploring early life risk factors for chronic airway disease in adulthood, we may gain insights paving the way for future reduction in the burden of chronic airway diseases.
