【 摘 要 】

This year's summary focuses on recent advances in pediatric asthma as reported in Journal publications in 2008. New National Asthma Education and Prevention Program asthma guidelines were released in 2007 with a special emphasis on asthma control. Attention was redirected to methods that could reduce impairment, specifically symptom control, and minimize risk, including exacerbations. Journal theme issues in 2008 focused on several relevant asthma topics including asthma exacerbations, exercise-induced bronchospasm, asthma and obesity, and occupational asthma. This review highlights Journal articles and related articles that reinforce principles of the guidelines and also direct us to new information that will advance asthma care for children. A major step forward will be finding ways to implement the asthma guidelines. (J Allergy Clin Immunol 2009;123:28-34.)
