Looking beyond patients: Can parents' quality of life predict asthma control in children?

abstract：:We have evaluated the role of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) concentrations in serum in predicting wheezing after bronchiolitis, during infancy and early childhood. A prospective study at a university hospital serving all pediatric patients in a defined area was designed. Serum ECP concentrations were measured in 9...
