“…Among our enrolled 95 children aged between 6-12 years, 52.1% patients were females and 47.9% were males, which show that incidence is nearly the same in two genders. Kamps et al while studying children 2-18 years of age, had also reported equal distribution of asthma in either gender in Netherlands as affected males were 49% 16 . 67.4% of our patients were found to have a positive family history for asthma.…”

“…Asthma is a common phenomenon in many families as the disease course of this chronic entity is marked with episodic exacerbations. Severe exacerbation does require management in the emergency department or even inpatient hospitalization 16 . Timely, yet effective, intervention can direct us towards limiting its morbidity and lesser hospital indoor stays.…”

“…The primary outcome was the asthma severity. There are multiple scores for assessing asthma severity, namely the Pulmonary Index Score, 13 Pediatric Asthma Severity Score, 14 Childhood Asthma Score 15 and the Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure. 16 All these scores are on an ordinal scale where increasing scores mean increasing disease severity.…”

“…Physical examination and medical history, including previous attacks and comorbidities ( Table 3 ), are the cornerstones to assess the severity of the exacerbation and the need for ER evaluation [ 3 , 11 , 19 ]. The objective datum of oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry is crucial to support the diagnosis and evaluate asthma attack [ 23 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ]. When the response to SABA is scarce within the first hour of treatment, the patient should be sent to the ER.…”

“…During an acute asthma attack, the measurement of lung function by FEV 1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 s) or PEF is strongly recommended whenever possible, without delaying therapy. These tests define the severity of the attack (mild for PEF or FEV 1 values >80%, moderate for values between 60 and 80% and severe if PEF or FEV 1 are <60%) and assess the response to therapy [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 ...…”
