ICD-11 definition : Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) describes airway narrowing that occurs
in association with exercise. EIB occurs in up to 90% of asthmatic patients and is
estimated to occur in 10% of the general population. Recent reviews have identified
asthma as a risk factor for sudden death and have reported many deaths that have been
attributed directly to EIB.;
