IntroductionAsthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterised by cough, wheeze and difficulty in breathing. These symptoms are usually associated with variable expiratory airflow limitation [1]. Asthma is one of the most common chronic conditions of childhood and impairs children's quality of life. Asthma affects 5–20% of children across Europe [2] and 11.6% of children across the world aged 6–7 years [3].
