Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialThe Preschool Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM): a responsive index of acute asthma severity.
To elaborate and validate a Preschool Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM) that would accurately reflect the severity of airway obstruction and the response to treatment in young patients with asthma. ⋯ PRAM appears to be a responsive but moderately discriminative tool for assessing acute asthma severity. This measure, designed for preschool-aged children, has been validated against a concurrent measure of lung function.
