Abstract


Introduction: Childhood asthma, a leading chronic respiratory disease, is managed according to evidence-based international guidelines like those from the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA). These guidelines recommend a stepwise approach focused on inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) for control and prevention. However, a persistent gap exists between these recommendations and real-world clinical practice, contributing to poor outcomes.

Keywords


Paediatric asthma; Medication adherence; Clinical practice guidelines; Inhaled corticosteroids; Implementation science; Health disparities.
