Background: : The usefulness of questionnaires to assess asthma control in clinical practice is recognized in recent international guidelines. While several questionnaires have been developed to measure asthma control in adults, there has been little study of the performance of such instruments in children.
Objective: : To determine whether there is an association between asthma-related healthcare use and poor asthma control, as determined by categorical score on the control domain of the Asthma Therapy Assessment Questionnaire for children and adolescents (the pediatric ATAQ).
