Completed
Conditions
Childhood Asthma With Status Asthmaticus
Registration Number
NCT02936778
Lead Sponsor
Erasmus Medical Center
Brief Summary

This study will prospectively assess the impact and relevance of several risk factors for children with severe acute asthma (SAA) or acute wheeze that have been identified in retrospective studies. Secondary we will assess short-term medical and psychosocial functioning in patient (and parents) admitted to a PICU for SAA/acute wheeze versus a control group admitted to a MC for SAA/acute wheeze.
