Background summary
Current asthma guidelines are based on RCT's and SR's. In numerous systematic
reviews the efficacy of inhalation corticosteroids (ICS) in maintenance therapy
in asthma is demonstrated. Despite this treatment with ICS asthma in daily life
studies complaints and uncontrolled asthma is apparent. Treatment goals as
formulated in the international guidelines are not reached. In our clinic in
most of the children we reache these treatment goals. Also in our clinic there
are children with ongoing complaints despite ICS treatment. Comorbidities as
allergic rhinitis is shown to have an effect on asthma control in patients with
asthma. In studies in children and adolescents in the United States, children
with asthma are more likely to suffer from anxiety or depression than compared
to children without asthma. This suggests that this could be a serious
co-morbidity. The treatment of asthma in the Netherlands is not comparable with
the US. More ICS use and more intense follow up, as a difference in prevalence
and cultural difference in anxiety and depression makes it difficult to
translate these results to our population. Also the relation between anxiety
and depression and asthma as the disease, or as a chronic condition is unknown.
We would like to answer these questions. What is the prevalence of depression
and anxiety in children with asthma. Is this more frequent in asthma than in
other chronic conditions like diabetes and Coeliakie? And how compares this to
healthy children in the same phase of life?
