Pediatric asthma: how significant it is for the whole life?

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Corticosteroids can be used prenatally to mature the fetal lungs and postnatally to treat or prevent chronic lung disease (CLD). Randomised controlled trials have been performed to evaluate the benefits and risks of perinatal corticosteroid therapy. METHODS:Systematic reviews of randomised controlled tria...
