2017, The Lancet Respiratory MedicineCitation Excerpt :Childhood and adult asthma resemble a complex syndrome rather than a single disease and present with different phenotypes1,2 that lead to the recognised state of variable airway obstruction, which at times is not fully reversible or even fixed during the disease course.3 Presumably, however, variable airway obstruction is affected through diverse underlying pathophysiological processes adding further to the complexity of our pathophysiological understanding.1,4 These diverse underlying mechanisms could be used to further define asthma, which is known as an asthma endotype.
Severe Asthma in Children
2014, Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In PracticeSteroid-Resistant Asthma
2012, Paediatric Respiratory ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Pharmokinetic studies can reveal those who have incomplete absorption, fail to convert prednisone from an inactive state to its active state prednisolone, or have rapid CS elimination.39 Morning plasma cortisol and prednisolone levels after a course of steroid treatment can help assess adherence.13,26 Intramuscular triamcinolone or computerized delivery systems have also been suggested as a method to document patient compliance with steroid therapy.13,26
Persistence of asthma medication use in preschool children
2008, Respiratory MedicineCitation Excerpt :The low persistence found in our study is consistent with the findings from previous studies that no valid criteria exist to prospectively identify children who will develop asthma within a group of wheezing children.1,2,18–20 Moreover, a great proportion of those who wheezed in their first years of life did so for other reasons than asthma.2–6 However, other studies did find certain factors to be associated with persistent wheeze and asthma later in life, including early allergic sensitization,1,9,18,21,22 atopic disease (such as rhinitis, eczema), eosinophilia,19,22,23 female sex,21 tobacco smoke exposure,21,22 a family history of asthma,1,9,19,22–25early and/or severe wheezing.18,19,25
