“…The prognosis was better in boys than in girls according to Bray (1937), Rackemann andEdwards (1952), Smith (1961), and Pearson (1967), whereas Ogilvie (1962) and Johnstone (1968) did not consider that sex affected the prognosis at any stage. The sex incidence in Dawson et al's 1969 series varied from 1 * 3 to 3 -3 males to 1 female according to the age of onset of their asthma, whereas Bray (1937) reported an incidence of 2 males to 1 female.…”

“…An early age of onset is characteristic of all the series of asthma in childhood. Early age of onset indicated a more favourable prognosis according to Flensborg (1945), Rackemman and Edwards (1952), Smith (1961), and Ogilvie (1962, but a worse prognosis according to Bray (1930;1937), McNicol (1969), andWilliams (1973), and no effect on the prognosis according to Wilken-Jensen (1963), Barr and Logan (1964), and Johnstone and Dutton (1968). In this series early age of onset did not affect the prognosis at any stage.…”

SUMMARY Of 417 asthmatic children seen in hospital from 1941 to 1947, only 208 (50 %) were still attending the hospital and were available for long-term follow-up, whereas a 91 % follow-up was achieved from a personal follow-up of 267 asthmatic children seen in an East London group practice from 1948 to 1952 and followed for more than 20 years to December 1972. 125 patients (52%) were almost or completely symptom free; 51 (21 %) had never had any symptom-free period for longer than 6 months; a further 63 (27%) had a remission of symptoms for 3 years before relapsing. 7 patients died, 3 due to their asthma.

“…Adults with a History of Asthma but Symptom-free Many follow-up studies of asthma from childhood into adult life have been carried out, and the number of patients who were symptom-free at the time the studies were undertaken varied from 30 to 50% (Bullen, 1929;Rackemann and Edwards, 1952;Engstrdm and Kriepelien, 1957;Ryssing, 1959;Johnstone and Crump, 1961;Ogilvie, 1962;Ryssing and Flensborg, 1963).…”

, 1966, 2, 976-978 This study was carried out in order to determine the ventilatory capacity of a group of young adults who had suffered from asthma in childhood but who had been free of symptoms for an average period of six years at the time of the study (range from four to ten years).The results were compared with those of a group of 24 healthy adults of similar age who were divided into smokers and non-smokers, and also with a group of young adults who had continued to suffer from asthma since childhood. MethodSelection.-The normal subjects were medical students who had no history of asthma or hay-fever. The group studied were university students who were interviewed with the cooperation of the University of Liverpool Student Health Service. All those who were recorded as having suffered from asthma as children and who had been free from symptoms for a period of at least three years were asked to participate. The

“…Ogilvie studied 1000 consecutive patients with asthma and found that mortality, morbidity, and prognosis were worse in those with an onset of asthma later in life and more continuous symptoms. (2) Two studies showed that severe asthma does not occur immediately and usually an asthmatic patient has symptoms for about one year before the first hospitalization. [3][4] However, this should not give one a false sense of security in that McDonald et al reported that while most of the asthmatic deaths were among chronic asthmatics, 40% had not been hospitalized previously.…”

Asthma is a medical emergency that usually can be resolved with prompt appropriate therapy, as was well described in another article in this current edition. However, at times it is necessary to admit the patient for more aggressive therapy. At this time a good history may give clues to those who are at risk for respiratory failure. There are several physical signs and laboratory studies that may give warning to severe asthma or impending respiratory failure. For the patient who progresses into respiratory fail¬ ure, monitoring (invasive and noninvasive) is needed. As an alternative to aminophylline infusion, beta sympathomimetic agonist therapy should be considered. With signs of severe respiratory distress, intubation and mechanical ventilation with controlled peak inspiratory pressures should be employed. Our experience with using extracorporeal membrane oxygénation to treat severe airway obstruction in two infants indicates that this is a new alternative if conventional mechanical ventilation is not effective.
