BACKGROUND: The economic burden of pediatric asthma is substantial, with national annual health care costs of $3 billion. Successful clinical management of asthma in children has the potential to decrease this burden by lowering the disproportionate costs of hospitalization and acute care for pediatric asthma patients. RESULTS: Based on increased understanding of the pathogenesis of asthma, revised guidelines were published by the National Institutes of Health in 1997 (with an update in 2002) and by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology in 1999 to assist in the diagnosis and management of pediatric asthma. These guidelines emphasize the role of inflammation in asthma and recommend treatment of the underlying inflammatory process. Despite increased knowledge regarding the pathogenesis of the disease and the availability of effective anti-inflammatory agents, particularly inhaled corticosteroids, the prevalence of asthma and disease-related morbidity continues to remain high in children. CONCLUSIONS: Asthma interventions that include the use of guideline-recommended inhaled corticosteroid therapy and patient and caregiver education in asthma management may help to reduce asthma morbidity in children and decrease the substantial costs of pediatric asthma.
