Early screening for childhood asthma using validated questionnaires in primary care can improve early detection and intervention. This approach offers a cost-effective method to enhance patient care and quality of life, despite rising hospital admissions.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Primary care teams are central to asthma management.
  • Nurse-led, audited general practice clinics show improved care delivery.
  • Despite improvements, childhood asthma hospital admissions are increasing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically review literature on childhood asthma screening.
  • To address challenges in defining asthma and its prevalence.
  • To explore asthma as part of a spectrum of upper respiratory tract illnesses.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on asthma screening.
  • Discussion of fundamental screening principles for asthma.
  • Evaluation of five distinct screening procedures.
