Abstract
Asthma is the most frequent chronic disease of childhood, affecting up to 20% of children worldwide. The main guidelines on asthma maintenance therapy in pediatrics suggest different approaches and describe different stages of asthma to determine the most appropriate treatment. This project aims to summarize the most recent evidence regarding maintenance therapy for asthma in children and adolescents. A multidisciplinary panel of experts was asked clinical questions regarding the treatment of children and adolescents with asthma. Overall, 10 clinical questions were addressed, and the search strategy included accessing electronic databases and a manual search of gray literature published in the last 25 years. After data extraction and narrative synthesis of results, recommendations were developed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) methodology. Results showed that the choice of medication depends on the severity of the child's asthma, phenotype, age, preference, and individual factors. In addition to medications, the identification of comorbidities and modifiable factors is crucial to obtaining good control. Asthma in children is heterogeneous, and its evolution varies over time. Since most recommendations for asthma management in childhood are extrapolated from clinical studies performed in adults, more clinical trials specifically designed for young children should be conducted.

JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:6220774. [PMID: 35463694 PMCID: PMC9020921 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6220774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Accepted: 03/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Children are the reserve force for national construction, and children's health is now being paid more and more attention. In today's childhood asthma treatment, many are based on the treatment of common cough, and there is no strict division with asthma. Importantly, the efficacy of inhaled corticosteroids in the treatment of childhood asthma has been extensively studied in the medical community. However, there is no clear explanation for its specific efficacy and role. Research on childhood asthma has always been a key topic in medicine. This article aims to conduct a meta-analysis of the correlation between inhaled corticosteroids and asthma in children. This article proposes a more scientific literature screening strategy, which can achieve a higher accuracy rate for meta-analysis. It combines the intelligent medical health system in the analysis of children's asthma to assist in the analysis of curative effects. Such analysis also provides reference significance for related research. The experimental results indicate that inhaled corticosteroids have a good effect on childhood asthma. As the concentration of inhaled glucocorticoid increases, the effect will be better. Specifically, if the concentration is increased by 10%, the effect will be about 15% better, but there are corresponding side effects.
