  Asthma is the most common chronic child and adolescent disease with a prevalence that has increased significantly over the past 20 years worldwide as well as the use of antiasthmatic medications. Little is known about the short and long-term therapeutic management of asthmatic children.Pharmacological treatment aims durable asthma control but despite the existence of international recommendations for the proper use of anti-asthma drugs and inhalation medical devices in this population, asthma control remains unacceptable for at least one-third of asthmatic children and adolescents.The aim of this study is to assess the prescribing patterns of antiasthma drugs and inhalation medical devices, oral corticosteroids and antibiotics in asthmatic children in primary care in France in order to identify deviations from recommendations.
