In the past 20 years, the prevalence of childhood asthma has been increasing in China; its prevalence differs greatly between urban and rural populations. The proportion of asthma attack-related emergency room visits and hospitalization in children is still very high; the early diagnosis rate of childhood asthma is low and related treatment and management is not ideal. With complete understanding of the guidelines, correct applications in clinical practice, and appropriate laboratory examinations, pediatricians can improve early diagnosis of asthma and provide appropriate treatment plans and individualized preventive suggestions to children with asthma at an early stage; this can comprehensively improve asthma prevention and control and therefore, improve its prognosis.
