- Abstract:
- Due to new insights into asthma management, the consensus recommendations on treatment of bronchial asthma in children and adolescents originally published in 1999 and amended in 2003 needed updating. It was decided that the recommendations should be replaced with guidelines which would standardize patient management and provide assistance to all caregivers, First of all, evidence grades were included. Particular emphasis was attributed to practicability, feasibility, compliance, and costs. A further focus is the concept whereby patient-oriented therapy is carried out according to symptom control and includes asthma self-management strategies. Since a recommendation on the treatment of recurrent obstructive bronchitis and bronchial asthma in pre-school age was issued in 2006, the present guidelines are restricted to patients over the age of 5. To guarantee their implementation, the Austrian Society for Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine is offering modules on "Asthma"and "Asthma training" in the framework of a diploma program.
