May 2008 PHILADELPHIA — Researchers unveiled more than 14 years of findings from the Childhood Asthma Management Program study. According to Stanley J. Szefler, MD, variable patterns of lung development that are associated with different clinical, physiologic and structural outcomes seem to be emerging in the pediatric population. “The CAMP study cohort is an excellent group to evaluate the natural history of mild to moderate persistent asthma,” Szefler, head of pediatric clinical pharmacology of the National Jewish Medical and Research Center, said at the meeting. “We found that patterns of lung function development can be identified by evaluating FEV1 percentage over time. When physicians monitor lung function over time, they will observe these patterns and can make management decisions to address these specific patterns of lung development.”
