Asthma is a common respiratory disease in children. We aimed to update information about the incidence and mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of childhood asthma and provide evidence-based recommendations for childhood asthma ...

The Urban Environment and Childhood Asthma (URECA) study identified 5 phenotypes among high-risk, inner-city children.

Asthma affects nearly 6 million US children. Throughout childhood, children undergo a series of biological, developmental, and psychosocial changes. Thus, factors influencing a child’s asthma management differ across three essential stages—early childhood (0-5 years), school-aged years (5-12 years), and adolescence (12-18 years)—and ...

Asthma is polygenic, and multiple phenotypes exist. It is estimated that up to 70% of asthma in children is associated with atopy, or allergies. Airway hyperresponsiveness, serum IgE levels, inflammatory mediator expression, and Th1/Th2 balance are four areas that may be influenced by genetics.

An overview of systematic reviews (SRs) on paediatric asthma maintenance management and an SR of treatments for acute asthma attacks in children, requiring an emergency presentation with/without hospital admission will be conducted.

Asthma is the most common chronic condition of childhood. Self-management is integral to good asthma control. This qualitative paper explores how children with asthma and their parents perceive...

This review summarizes recent advances in the management of asthma in children and adolescents.

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the effectiveness of comprehensive community-based interventions with ≥ 2 components in improving asthma outcomes in children.

The first, by Cristina Ardura-Garcia et al., 1 reports differences between children at risk of long-term suboptimal asthma control and those at risk of acute asthma attacks. The authors recommend that prediction tools and preventive efforts should differentiate these two asthma outcomes.

The group consists of (1) children with an incorrect diagnosis of asthma; (2) children with asthma in addition to another disease; (3) children with difficult asthma (which can be improved after optimizing basic management) (4) children with therapy resistant asthma (severe symptoms despite the implementation of all the basic management steps).
