SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 months

Population: 8 patients failed to attend for 4 month follow up

Quality of life assessed using the Paediatric Caregivers Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PACQLQ). The scores are from 1.0-7.0, higher value is a better outcome. We calculated the actual score at baseline and at 4 months. A change in score of 0.5 is considered clinically significant. We recorded actual value at baseline and actual value at 4 months.
