Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Asthma is a relatively common condition that is characterised by at least partially reversible inflammation of the airways and reversible airway obstruction due to airway hyperreactivity. It can be acute, subacute or chronic."

Line 1:219 · Use the Oxford comma in 'acute, subacute or chronic'.

"The classic symptoms of asthma are wheeze, shortness of breath, chest tightness or difficulty breathing and cough. These symptoms are typically variable and can be absent for long periods, with possible episodic exacerbations often triggered by factors such as exercise, allergen or irritant exposure, cold air, or viral respiratory infections."

Line 7:265 · Use the Oxford comma in 'exercise, allergen or irritant'.

"Lung function tests are useful in the evaluation of a patient with asthma to assess the presence, severity and reversibility of the airflow obstruction. On spirometry, an FEV1/FVC ratio"

Line 15:92 · Use the Oxford comma in 'presence, severity and reversibility'.
