Summary
The objective of this study is to determine whether, in children receiving low-dose inhaled
corticosteroids (ICS), quintupling the dose of inhaled corticosteroids at the onset of
symptoms previously associated with upper respiratory illnesses and subsequent asthma
exacerbations reduces the rate of severe asthma exacerbations treated with oral
corticosteroids.
