This study aimed to identify different asthma phenotypes in school-aged Korean children to improve management and predict outcomes.
Researchers analyzed 674 children with asthma, ultimately focusing on 447 for cluster analysis, which revealed four distinct asthma phenotypes based on factors like gender, age of onset, and presence of allergies.
The findings highlight the complexity of asthma in this population and suggest that long-term research is necessary to better understand the prognosis and treatment responses associated with each phenotype.
