Summary

This study tested a program called TEAM-UP that brings asthma specialist visits to children at school via telemedicine, combined with daily preventive medication given at school. 326 children aged 4-12 with moderate to severe asthma took part. The goal was to see if this approach increases symptom-free days compared to enhanced usual care.
