Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate prescriptions of asthma medication for children in primary care.
METHODS: Data on prescriptions of asthma medication for children aged 0-9 years were collected from a general practice-based network
in the north eastern part of the Netherlands. Prevalence, incidence, indications, continuation beyond the age of 6 years, and predictors of
continuation, were determined.
RESULTS: Prevalence of prescriptions was about 80 per 1000 person years. An asthma diagnosis was registered in 40% of the children with
a first prescription and in 70% of the children with six or more prescriptions. Discontinuation of asthma medication was between 60 and
90%. Continuation was more likely in children with a first prescription at age 2 or 3 as compared to children starting treatment at age
