Severe asthma is broadly defined as asthma requiring a high level of therapy, usually high doses of inhaled corticosteroids, to bring under control. Children who remain symptomatic despite such treatment are a heterogeneous population, and bear a high burden of disease and require high resource utilization. Children with severe asthma require a comprehensive evaluation, careful consideration of alternative diagnoses and comorbid conditions, assessment of medication adherence and environmental conditions, and frequent disease monitoring.

Association between vitamin D status at 3 years and eosinophilic asthma in 6-year-old children with a history of severe bronchiolitis.

The association between early childhood serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and eosinophilic asthma remains unclear. We investigated this association using multicentre prospective data from 584 children with a history of bronchiolitis requiring hospitalisation (high-risk population). Low serum 25(OH)D levels (<20 ng/mL) were associated with increased odds of developing eosinophilic asthma (adjusted OR 2.

Background: Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) recently recommends clinicians to reduce inhaled corticosteroid doses in patients with severe asthma who respond positively to monoclonal antibodies (MAbs).
Objective: As we operated this reduction even before the document, we analysed our cohort of subjects on treatment with a MAbs for at least 24 months.
Methods: Data stored in our electronic archive and at the 6-month follow-up (FU) were registered and patients' adherence to asthma therapy was derived by electronic pharmacy claim database.

As the ozone (O) pollution becomes severe in China, it poses a threat to human health. Currently, studies on the impacts of O on different regions and groups are limited. This review systematically summarizes the relationship between O pollution and mortality and morbidity across the nation, regions, and cities in China, with a focus on the regional and group-specific studies.

Importance: A high infection burden in early childhood is common and a risk factor for later disease development. However, longitudinal birth cohort studies investigating early-life infection burden and later risk of infection and antibiotic episodes are lacking.
Objective: To investigate whether early-life infection burden is associated with a later risk of infection and systemic antibiotic treatment episodes in childhood.
