Depression, illness severity, and healthcare utilization in cystic fibrosis.

abstract：:Even though childhood asthma is assumed to comprise reversible airway obstruction, some children develop irreversible airway obstruction (not reversed by a bronchodilator or corticosteroids); this may be due to inflammation that has caused remodeling. Lately, it has been claimed that in the absence of treatment with i...
