Inhaled Corticosteroids for Mild Persistent Asthma

Abstract

This chapter provides a summary of a landmark study in pediatrics. Do inhaled corticosteroids improve outcomes in patients with recent-onset mild persistent asthma? Starting with that question, it describes the basics of the study, including funding, study location, who was studied, how many patients, study overview, study intervention, follow-up, endpoints, results, and criticism and limitations. The chapter briefly reviews other relevant studies and information, discusses implications, and concludes with a relevant clinical case.
