M Andersson, L Hedman, A Bjerg, B Forsberg, B Lundback, E Ronmark. Pediatrics. 2013;132(2). Available at: www.pediatrics.org/cgi/content/full/132/2/e435 The goal of this study was to analyze the remission and persistence of childhood asthma in adolescents. The study population included 205 subjects with asthma studied from age 7 to 8 years up until the study end-point age of 19 years. Subjects with asthma were identified by distributing an extended International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaire to the families of all children in the first and second grade in 3 municipalities in northern …
