The article discusses research being done on the influence of variation in type and pattern of symptoms on assessment in pediatric asthma. It references a study by A. L. Fuhlbrigge and colleagues in a 2006 issue of "Pediatrics." The study aims to examine the asthma-related health burden in U.S. children. An overview of the study population is presented, as well as the methods, findings and conclusions. Reviewer comments emphasize the importance of asking specific questions during patient encounters and education regarding symptom-control expectations.
