Clinical Characteristics of Severe Childhood Asthma

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical Trial Description

Asthma remains a serious health problem with increasing prevalence and incidence. There is limited information about severe asthma among Chinese pediatric patients. In this context, we decided to explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors of severe asthma in children. This is a descriptive, observational, retrospective cohort study in children with asthma. The purpose of this retrospective study is: to determine the clinical characteristics of severe asthma of children; to identify the factors associated with severe childhood asthma. Participants were consecutively recruited from asthma clinics between January 2021 and December 2021 at Children's Hospital of Fudan University. Patients fulfilling the following criteria were eligible for inclusion: (1) aged 6-17 years old; (2) diagnosed with asthma according to the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) 2020 guideline; (3) children and their caregivers are informed and voluntarily join the database and had follow up for at least 1 year. Patients who had cystic fibrosis, mechanical airway obstruction, or any other pulmonary disease or whose parents or legal guardians were not able to fill in the questionnaires were not enrolled. At baseline, the asthma specialist questioned each of the patient in the presence of their caregivers to ensure that they supplied accurate disease information and were included according to the criteria. The patients and their caregivers are asked to complete the online questionnaires including the demographic; baseline asthma control, triggers, exacerbation, medication and adherence; environmental exposure, and diagnosis and control of comorbidities, etc. If a patient had poorly controlled comorbidities, multidisciplinary consultation would be recommended. Clinical assessments were arranged at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
