Asthma exacerbations are common in asthmatic children, even among those with good disease control. attacks result the children and their parents missing school work days; limit patient’s social physical activities; lead to emergency department visits, hospital admissions, or fatal events. Thus, prompt identification of at risk for exacerbation is crucial, as it may allow proactive measures that could prevent these episodes. Children prone asthma a heterogeneous group; various demographic factors such younger age, ethnic group, low family income, clinical parameters (history an past 12 months, poor control, adherence treatment, comorbidities), Th2 inflammation, environmental exposures (pollutants, stress, viral bacterial pathogens) determine future should be carefully considered. This paper aims review existing evidence regarding predictors offer practical monitoring guidance promptly recognizing patients risk.
