1 Efficacy of Systemic Glucocorticoid in the Treatment of Wheezing in Children

We can not predict which wheezing child younger than 3 years of age benefits from systemic glucocorticoid and which one does not. It is not known whether the differences in the efficacy are related to the differences in viral etiology, atopy, immunogical maturity or age of the patient. The study aims to answer the following questions: 1. What is the viral etiology of acute childhood expiratory wheezing? 2. What is the efficacy of prednisolone in relation to age, atopy and viral etiology in acute childhood wheezing? 3. Does prednisolone treatment increase risk for secundary bacterial infection in acute childhood expiratory wheezing? 4. What is the significance of inflammatory markers in predicting the efficacy of systemic steroid or patient outcome in acute childhood expiratory wheezing? Study will follow randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled parallel design. Study will start in Septemper 2000 and will be performed at the Department of Pediatrics, Turku University Hospital, Turku Finland. The study population will be 300 hospitalized wheezing children aged 3 months – 15 years. Investigational drug will be prednisolone, first dose 2 mg/kg, then 2 mg/kg/d/3 (max. 60 mg/vrk) p.o. for 3 d and comparative drug will be placebo tablet similar to investigational drug with the equal dosage. The primary outcome will be the time until ready for discharge. The study will provide new and important information for the diagnostics, treatment, disease outcome and prevention of acute childhood expiratory wheezing.

2 Efficacy and Safety of Increasing Doses of Inhaled Albuterol Administered by Metered Dose Inhalers in Children With Acute Wheezing Episodes

Metered dose inhalers with spacers are devices capable of providing higher rates of lung deposition of drugs such as beta agonists when compared to conventional nebulizers, but there is no consensus about the optimal dose when this is the device of choice and there is evidence that younger children need proportionally higher doses of albuterol (in μg/kg) when compared to older children. Other factors that may interfere with response to albuterol treatment include the genetics of the beta adrenergic receptor (ADRβ2) and infectious etiology of the wheezing attack. This study will assess the effectiveness of a dose regimen that prioritizes higher doses of albuterol, with doses in μg/kg higher for younger children. Security of this new dosing regimen will be assessed by monitoring clinical side effects and serum levels of albuterol, but the investigators will also examine the presence of 12 different respiratory viruses in these patients and evaluate the influence of ADRβ2 receptor genetics in the response to albuterol. The primary outcome measure will be the need for hospitalization. Secondary outcomes will include a change in clinical score, respiratory rate and forced expiratory volume in the first second, the need for additional treatments and length of stay in the emergency room for those not hospitalized.

NCT01323010 Asthma Children Drug: Albuterol - Experimental Drug: Albuterol - Control
MeSH:Respiratory Sounds
HPO:Crackles Rhonchi Stridor Wheezing

Primary Outcomes

Description: Hospital admission was defined as the need to stay in the emergency room for more than 4 hours, due to the failure to meet the discharge criteria (PRAM score ≤ 3 and pulse oximetry, ≥ 92%)

Measure: Hospital Admission

Time: Starting at 4 hours post-treatment

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Change in FEV1 one hour post-treatment in comparison with baseline. Spirometry was performed only in subjects older than 6 years and who could perform the maneuver properly.

Measure: Forced Expiratory Volume in the First Second

Time: One hour post-treatment in comparison with baseline

Description: Change in the Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM) score one hour post-treatment in comparison with baseline. The PRAM score is used to assess the severity of asthma attacks, it ranges from 0 to 15, and the higher the score, the greater the severity of the attack. We calculated the difference between the PRAM score measured one hour post treatment and the PRAM score at baseline (PRAM score 1 hour - PRAM score baseline). The larger the absolute value of the difference, the better the outcome (e.g., a difference of -4 indicates a better outcome that a difference of -2). minimum value of the difference (Albuterol - Higher Dose, experimental group): -8 maximum value of the difference (Albuterol - Higher Dose, experimental group): 0 minimum value of the difference (Albuterol - Lower Dose, control group): -8 maximum value of the difference (Albuterol - Lower Dose, control group): 0

Description: Change in the Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM) score at discharge or hospital admission (up to 4 hours post treatment) in comparison with baseline. The PRAM score is used to assess the severity of asthma attacks, it ranges from 0 to 15, and the higher the score, the greater the severity of the attack. We calculated the difference between the PRAM score measured at discharge or admission and the PRAM score at baseline (PRAM score discharge or admission - PRAM score baseline). The larger the absolute value of the difference, the better the outcome (e.g., a difference of -4 indicates a better outcome that a difference of -2). minimum value of the difference (Albuterol - Higher Dose, experimental group): -9 maximum value of the difference (Albuterol - Higher Dose, experimental group): 0 minimum value of the difference (Albuterol - Lower Dose, control group): -9 maximum value of the difference (Albuterol - Lower Dose, control group): 1
