Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: achieving asthma control is uncommon. Parents tend to overestimate the asthma control; therefore it leads to unsuccessful asthma treatment.
 
Reviewers’ commentary: patients and caregivers tend to underestimate symptoms related to uncontrolled asthma. It is necessary to carry out interventions to improve the knowledge of the patients and their families on the illness in order to optimize the treatment and to reduce the prevalence of poorly controlled asthma in children.
