The Italian Society of Paediatric Allergy and Immunology has developed the project “ControL’Asma," a nationwide study involved ten third‐level pediatric allergy clinics across Italy. The first findings of the “ControL’Asma” project showed that asthma was more frequent in males, had an early onset and allergic phenotype with very frequent rhinitis comorbidity, uncontrolled, and partly controlled asthma affected about the half of subjects, and the assessment of asthma symptom perception by VAS could be a reliable tool in the asthma management.
