Is the mortality rate of childhood asthma high?

Abstract: The mortality rate of childhood asthma is high. 80% to 90% of children with asthma first symptoms occur before 4 to 5 years old. Especially in children with asthma, pathological changes are often in a reversible stage due to short course of disease and mild airway inflammation.

Is the mortality rate of childhood asthma high?

The mortality rate of childhood asthma is not high? 80% to 90% of children with asthma first symptoms occur before 4 to 5 years old. Especially in children with asthma, due to short course of disease, light airway inflammation, pathological changes are often in a reversible stage, so the treatment effect is good, the prognosis is good, so early treatment is necessary. It is extremely important to reduce the morbidity and mortality of childhood asthma.



80% to 90% of children with asthma first symptoms occur before 4 to 5 years old. Children, especially infants and young children, due to short course of disease, light airway inflammation, pathological changes are often in a reversible stage, so the treatment effect is good, the prognosis is good, so early intervention with anti-asthma drugs is necessary, this measure reduces the country Asthma morbidity and mortality have extremely important clinical implications.

Early interventions are consistent with the principles of early diagnosis and early prevention in the GINA program (Global Asthma Control Program) promoted by the World Health Organization. In addition, parents should learn a lot about asthma and find symptoms in time for treatment.
