Abstract
These clinical guidelines were developed by the Danish Pediatric Asthma Center in collaboration with the Danish Paediatric Society. Key messages in the guidelines are: 1) Inhaled steroids are the most effective preventive medication and are first choice in children with persistent symptoms. 2) There is rarely indication for more than low to moderate doses of inhaled steroids as preventive medication. 3) There is insufficient evidence for preventive medication in pre-school children with intermittent asthma; a trial of leukotriene-receptor-antagonists or inhaled steroids could be done.
