Pediatric asthma is one of the most common chronic conditions seen in children throughout the world. Even with our better understanding of the pathology of pediatric asthma and improved pharmaceutical management for this disorder, we are still far from reaching the goals of optimal asthma outcomes as outlined by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health. What we mean by outcomes is the change in the patient's current and future health due to the care given. The outcomes in pediatric asthma can be divided into three categories: clinical, humanistic, and economic. This article provides information regarding the different components of outcomes in pediatric asthma and how one can use outcomes to improve asthma control for the child.
小儿哮喘是全球儿童中最常见的慢性病之一。尽管我们对小儿哮喘的病理有了更深入的了解，并且对这种疾病的药物治疗也有所改进，但我们仍远未达到美国国立卫生研究院国家心肺血液研究所所概述的最佳哮喘治疗效果目标。我们所说的治疗效果是指由于所提供的治疗而导致患者当前和未来健康状况的变化。小儿哮喘的治疗效果可分为三类：临床、人文和经济。本文提供了有关小儿哮喘治疗效果不同组成部分的信息，以及如何利用治疗效果来改善儿童哮喘的控制情况。
