Abstract:
Asthma is a complex heterogeneous disease characterized by reversible airflow obstruction. After appropriate diagnosis, the management in school-aged children centers on 3 broad domains: pharmacologic treatment, treatment of underlying comorbidities, and education of the patient and caregivers. It is important to understand that the phenotypic differences that exist in the school-aged child with asthma may impact underlying comorbid conditions as well as pharmacologic treatment choices. Following initiation of therapy, asthma control must be continually evaluated in order to optimize management.
