Relationship between adherence and wheeze phenotype
As episodic symptoms might have influenced whether parents gave
maintenance treatment and episodic wheeze may be less responsive to ICS,
we investigated the relationship between clinical phenotype and
adherence. Sixty percent of children had episodic viral wheeze. Median
adherence was similar in both phenotypes, EVW (63% [0-91%]) vs MTW
(75% [0-94%]), p=ns.
