Severe asthma in children

Abstract

Severe asthma in children is associated with significant morbidity and is a highly heterogeneous disorder with multiple clinical phenotypes. Cluster analyses have been performed in several groups to explain some of the heterogeneity of pediatric severe asthma, which is reviewed in this article. The evaluation of a child with severe asthma includes a detailed diagnostic assessment and excluding other possible diagnoses and addressing poor control due to comorbidities, lack of adherence to asthma controller medications, poor technique, and other psychological and environmental factors. Children with severe asthma require significant resources including regular follow-up appointments with asthma education, written asthma action plan, and care by a multidisciplinary team. Management of pediatric severe asthma now includes emerging phenotypic-directed therapies; however, continued research is still needed to further study the long-term outcomes of pediatric severe asthma and its treatment.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Severe asthma in children is much more variable with rapidly evolving severe attacks, often remaining symptom-free between attacks.

    “Severe asthma is predominantly persistent in adults, but much more variable with rapidly evolving severe attacks in children, often remaining symptom-free between the attacks (75, 76).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
