Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Pediatric Pulmonology"
DOI: 10.1002/ppul.24817
Abstract: Although a short course (ie, 3 to 5 days) of orally administered prednisolone is a common and widely accepted practice among clinicians for administering systemic corticosteroids in pediatric acute asthma, oral dexamethasone for 1 to… read more here.

The predictive value of impulse oscillometry for asthma exacerbations in childhood: A systematic review and meta‐analyses
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Pediatric Pulmonology"
DOI: 10.1002/ppul.25374
Abstract: Several studies have explored the predictive value of impulse oscillometry (IOS) for asthma exacerbations in childhood, but its specific parameters are still unclear. Therefore, we designed this meta‐analysis to determine the related indicators of acute… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rmed.2019.02.010
Abstract: BACKGROUND Low forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) is a risk factor for asthma exacerbations (AEs). We aimed to determine if asthma control could reduce the future risk of AEs in patients with low FEV1.… read more here.

A role for neutrophils in asthma exacerbations
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Nature Medicine"
DOI: 10.1038/nm.4351
Abstract: A recent study has found that rhinovirus-induced exacerbation of asthma is in part mediated by the release of neutrophil extracellular traps and double-stranded DNA by neutrophils in the airway. read more here.

Respiratory tract infection-induced asthma exacerbations in adults with asthma: assessing predictors and outcomes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Asthma"
DOI: 10.1080/02770903.2019.1568454
Abstract: Abstract Objective: To evaluate clinical and economic burden associated with respiratory tract infection (RTI)-induced asthma exacerbations and to identify risk factors associated with these exacerbations. Factors associated with these exacerbations are understudied and little information… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02770903.2022.2051546
Abstract: Abstract Objective: Early and accurate recognition of asthma exacerbations reduces the duration and risk of hospitalization. Current diagnostic methods depend upon patient recognition of symptoms, expert clinical examination, or measures of lung function. Here, we… read more here.
