Overview

Randomized trial evaluates asthma control in children aged 4-18, revealing significant control challenges.

Key Points

  • The study aims to assess asthma control levels among children aged 4-18 and identify factors influencing this control.
  • Included 500 asthmatic children aged 4-18, using C-ACT for ages 4-11 and ACT for ages 12-18.
  • Classified control status based on established scoring metrics from C-ACT and ACT.
  • Compared vitamin D levels of 100 healthy children for reference.
  • 51.7% of children aged 4-11 were under-controlled, while 58.7% of those aged 12-18 were well-controlled according to the ACT.
  • Significantly more antibiotic use was noted in the 4-11 age group (88.7%) compared to the 12-18 age group (75%) (p<0.001).
  • No significant difference in vitamin D levels between asthmatic patients and controls in both age groups.
