15 A similar result was reported in a recent study in 81 Dutch children which showed a trend of higher levels of asthma control with higher levels of adherence to ICS ( P =0.028). 16 Although the effect of adherence to ICS on asthma control is generally positive, conflicting evidence exists on the occurrence of episodes of very poorly controlled asthma: asthma exacerbations, needing a short course of oral corticosteroids, or hospital admission in children.
