RATIONALE: Daily inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) is recommended by the world expert committee to treat patients with persistent asthma and tendency to have asthma as a controller. However, many children in Thailand tend to receive episodic inhaled corticosteroid due to their parents’ inconvenience. We compare efficacy of daily inhaled fluticasone propionate (IFP) and episodic inhaled combined salmeterol/fluticasone propionate (ISFP) in children with recurrent wheezing. METHODS: Forty-four children aged 1 to 15, with recurrent wheezing and tendency to have asthma were recruited in our study. Participants were randomized to receive either daily IFP (N524) or 14-day of ISFP started at the onset of symptoms of respiratory tract illness (N520). The primary outcome was the percentage of exacerbations which needed systemic corticosteroid. The secondary outcome was the monthly height rate. Proportional-hazards regression model and ANOVA were used for statis- tical analysis. RESULTS: At 6 months after the treatment, the percentage of exacerba- tions which needed systemic corticosteroid between 2 groups had no statistically significant difference (P50.790) with hazard ratio of 1.224 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.278 to 5.392). Monthly height rate also had no significant difference (P50.869), 0.66 (95% CI 0.56 to 0.76) centimeters (cm) in daily IFP and 0.67 (95% CI 0.56 to 0.78) cm in MONDAY All abstracts are strictly embargoed until the date of presentation at the 2018 AAAAI/WAO Joint Congress AB208 Abstracts J ALLERGY CLIN IMMUNOL FEBRUARY 2018 Gamma Tocopherol (gT) Supplementation Reduces likely to be female (asthma only), had higher baseline comorbidities, more 652 Endotoxin-Induced Sputum Neutrophilia in Healthy respiratory specialty visits, and higher respiratory-related ambulatory Volunteers and Asthmatics Regardless of BMI or visits (all P<0.05 vs SABA pMDI); no difference with inpatient or emer- glutathione-S-transferase Mu1 (GSTM1) Genotype gency HCRU was observed.
