Abstract
Asthma is a common obstructive lung disease in pediatric medical practice and encompasses a wide degree of severity. Other obstructive lung diseases encountered by pediatric pulmonary physicians include bronchopulmonary dysplasia, primary ciliary dyskinesia, non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, and sickle cell disease. These diseases have a wide range of clinical phenotypes and disease severities which persist into adulthood. The following chapter provides best practices and recommendations in asthma and other obstructive lung diseases to maintain continued care and prevent loss to follow-up.
