<h3>Context</h3>Asymptomatic gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is prevalent in children with asthma. Untreated GER has been postulated to be a cause of inadequate asthma control despite inhaled corticosteroid treatment, but it not known whether treatment proton pump inhibitors improves control.<h3>Objective</h3>To determine lansoprazole effective reducing symptoms without overt GER.<h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3>The Study Acid Reflux Children With Asthma, randomized, masked,...

Asthma exacerbations occur frequently despite the regular use of asthma-controller therapies, such as inhaled glucocorticoids. Clinicians commonly increase doses glucocorticoids at early signs loss asthma control. However, data on safety and efficacy this strategy in children are limited.We studied 254 children, 5 to 11 years age, who had mild-to-moderate persistent least one exacerbation treated with systemic previous year. Children were for 48 weeks maintenance low-dose (fluticasone...

Studies have suggested an association between frequent acetaminophen use and asthma-related complications among children, leading some physicians to recommend that be avoided in children with asthma; however, appropriately designed trials evaluating this are lacking.In a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group trial, we enrolled 300 (age range, 12 59 months) mild persistent asthma assigned them receive either or ibuprofen when needed for the alleviation of fever...

The value of utilizing a multigene pharmacogenetic panel to tailor pharmacotherapy is contingent on the prevalence prescribed medications with an actionable association. Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) has categorized over 35 gene-drug pairs as "level A," for which there sufficiently strong evidence recommend that genetic information be used guide drug prescribing. opportunity use among adult patients was determined by elucidating exposure CPIC level A drugs 11...

<h3>Importance</h3> Genotype-guided prescribing in pediatrics could prevent adverse drug reactions and improve therapeutic response. Clinical pharmacogenetic implementation guidelines are available for many medications commonly prescribed to children. Frequencies of medication prescription actionable genotypes (genotypes where a change may be indicated) inform the potential value implementation. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess opportunities genotype-guided pediatric populations among multiple...

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate patient characteristics associated with bronchodilator (BD) use at various stages of bronchiolitis illness and corresponding outcomes in the emergency department (ED). Methods: retrospective, cross-sectional involves secondary data analysis from a sample 932 children ages 3 24 months who received diagnosis during an ED visit (1057 cases). Predictor variables included demographics, past medical history, family physical findings, medication use,...

Little is known about economic and productivity loss by severity of asthma. We investigate health-care utilization, direct medical costs, indirect costs due to from asthma severity.We conducted a cross-sectional analysis the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey database (2010-2017) patients with aged ≥12 years categorized them into mild, moderate, severe groups based on symptom control medications. Study outcomes included asthma-related absenteeism. used zero-inflated Poisson regression models...
