AAP: Routine Asthma Symptom Screening Improves Pediatric Diagnoses
Routine screening of children for asthma symptoms in a population with high prevalence can improve diagnoses.
A study presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics found that routine screening can improve diagnoses.
Researchers, led by Karen Ganacias, M.D., M.P.H., from MedStar Health in Washington, D.C., assessed the prevalence of previously unrecognized asthma and identified associated home environment risks.
- The analysis included 650 children aged 2 years and older living in a high-prevalence urban area.
- Participants were served by the Kids Medical Mobile Clinic and completed the universal Asthma Risk and Control Screen.
The researchers found that 17.7 percent of participants had a previous ICD10 diagnosis of asthma.
