Severe Asthma has been described as a heterogeneous disease with regard to clinical presentation and course. Few data are available in children. We present data on 37 patients 6-17 years old with SA defined according to recent ERS/ATS Guidelines (Eur Respir J 2014) in comparison with 64 age-matched peers with PA controlled by medium-dose inhaled steroids followed at specialised centres adhering to the Italian Society for Paediatric Respiratory Diseases (SIMRI). Each centre filled in questionnaires (medical + parental questionnaires + patient questionnaire if >12 yrs) on the web (CINECA). Cases included in 2013 are shown.

Abstract
Severe Asthma has been described as a heterogeneous disease with regard to clinical presentation and course. Few data are available in children. We present data on 37 patients 6-17 years old with SA defined according to recent ERS/ATS Guidelines (Eur Respir J 2014) in comparison with 64 age-matched peers with PA controlled by medium-dose inhaled steroids followed at specialised centres adhering to the Italian Society for Paediatric Respiratory Diseases (SIMRI). Each centre filled in questionnaires (medical + parental questionnaires + patient questionnaire if >12 yrs) on the web (CINECA). Cases included in 2013 are shown.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
