Participants aged 4\u201384\u2005months with a doctor's diagnosis of recurrent wheezing in the past 12\u2005months were included. While the control group followed usual care, the intervention group received the WheezeScan\u2122 for at-home use for 120\u2005days. Parents completed questionnaires regarding their child's respiratory symptoms, disease-related and parental quality of life, and caretaker self-efficacy at baseline (T0), 90\u2005days (T1) and 4\u2005months (T2).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 167 children, with a mean\u00b1<jats:sc>sd<\/jats:sc>age of 3.2\u00b11.6\u2005years, were enrolled in the study (intervention group n=87; control group n=80). There was no statistically significant difference in wheeze control assessed by TRACK (mean difference 3.8, 95% CI \u22122.3\u20139.9; p=0.2) at T1 between treatment groups (primary outcome).
