Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are the most effective long-term therapy available for mild, moderate, or severe persistent asthma. ICS are anti-inflammatory medications that reduce airway hyperresponsiveness, inhibit inflammatory cell migration and activation, and block late phase reaction to allergen.
There were no hospital readmissions in either treatment group, and there was no difference between the groups with regard to length of hospital stay. The authors conclude that high-dosage inhaled corticosteroids are as effective as systemic corticosteroids in the treatment of patients with severe asthma. The use of inhaled corticosteroids can reduce the adverse effects of systemic corticosteroids.
