- Acute asthma exacerbations in children are common, but the use of established severity scores in emergency departments is unclear.
- A review identified 17 asthma severity scores based on various parameters, with key factors being wheeze, respiratory rate, and muscle use; however, only a third of surveyed centers currently assess severity.
- Standardized severity scores are seldom utilized in pediatric settings, indicating a need for better data collection on common parameters to enhance research and auditing of pediatric asthma care.
