• Description:
  Forty-four percent of children with current asthma had uncontrolled asthma.
  
  Children with well controlled asthma symptoms can lead normal lives. However, uncontrolled asthma with frequent and intense episodes of symptoms can have a significant cost to families and society because it may lead to an increased risk of an emergency department visit, hospitalization, and work and school absenteeism. Asthma control was classified as well controlled or uncontrolled based on the national asthma guidelines.
