The prognoses of 103 asthmatic patients, who had been admitted with asthma attacks from April, 1979 to March 1975 as children, were examined by questionnaire in 1986, except for two of them who had died. The final prognosis was: cured: 22.3%, markedly improved: 30.1%, mild: 17.5%, moderately severe: 17.5%, severe: 9.7% and dead 2.9%. This prognosis depeded on the severity of the patient's asthma at the first visit to our hospital. Comparing of the severity of asthma in present study with that study, which were examined in 1979 to the patients who had been admitted with asthma attacks, no significant difference were observed in spite of recent advance of asthmatic therapy.We would like to emphasize the concept of "high risk childhood asthma". High risk childhood asthma was defined as follows, asthmatic children who was severe resisting the agressive therapy for the first year since the patient's first visit.
