“…On the one hand, similar laryngoscopic findings and/or symptomatology (e.g. onset/termination of attacks post-exposure, inducers of attacks, causation and patient demographics) have been described with different terms [4,7,14,17,22,28,29,37,[44][45][46], while on the other hand the same nomenclature has been used to describe differing clinical features [47][48][49][50][51][52]. This lack of an international consensus on nomenclature prevents research and expertise from different centres from being matched, pooled or readily utilised by others and effectively hampers progress in the area.…”

Individuals reporting episodes of breathing problems caused by re-occurring variable airflow obstructions in the larynx have been described in an increasing number of publications, with more than 40 different terms being used without consensus on definitions. This lack of an international consensus on nomenclature is a serious obstacle for the development of the area, as knowledge from different centres cannot be matched, pooled or readily utilised by others. Thus, an international Task Force has been created, led by the European Respiratory Society/European Laryngological Society/American College of Chest Physicians. This review describes the methods used to reach an international consensus on the subject and the resulting nomenclature, the 2013 international consensus conference nomenclature.
