Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Respirology
  • Asthma Management
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The pneumopediatrics consultation at CHU-MEL, established in 2018, prioritizes the follow-up of children with asthma.
  • Effective management strategies are essential for controlling childhood asthma and improving quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of regular follow-up on asthma control in pediatric patients.
  • To identify factors associated with successful asthma management in a clinical setting.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective cohort study was conducted from October 2019 to October 2021, including children aged 3-17 with diagnosed asthma.
  • Exclusion criteria included loss to follow-up after the first visit and co-existing respiratory or cardiac conditions.
  • Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) 2019 guidelines served as the reference for asthma classification and treatment.

Main Results:

  • Forty-seven children (3-12 years) were included; the most represented age group was under six.
  • Regular follow-up was observed in 22 of 31 evaluated patients, with 16 achieving controlled asthma.
  • Factors positively associated with asthma control included parental asthma history, consistent follow-up, and adherence to background treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Follow-up within a pediatric respirology department significantly benefits asthma control in children.
  • Improving patient retention and adherence to treatment plans is vital for optimizing outcomes.
