The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the TRACK initial score (Ti) and their prognosis after 6 months of follow-up in pre-schoolers with asthma.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Design:<\/jats:bold> A prospective cohort study.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> The study included pre-schoolers diagnosed with asthma at the Shanghai Children's Medical Center between January 2019 and June 2020, and follow-up for 6 months. TRACK scores, frequency of wheezing and respiratory infections, number of Emergency Department (ED) visits and treatment regimen were collected. According to the TRACK initial score, the children were divided into \u201cTi &amp;lt; 60 group\u201d and \u201cTi \u2265 60 group,\u201d and the two groups were compared in terms of TRACK score related indicators, clinical manifestations and treatment.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> There are 102 pre-schoolers included in the analysis [78 boys (76.5%) and 24 girls (23.5%); mean (SD) age, 28.05 (11.63) months]. After 6 months of follow-up, the TRACK score was improved in both groups, and the \u201cTi \u2265 60 group\u201d had a higher score, lower rate of uncontrolled asthma and fewer reassessments were required. There was no difference in the number of wheezing attacks between the two groups in terms of clinical presentation, but the \u201cTi &amp;lt; 60 group\u201d had more respiratory infections and ED visits. Regarding the use of ICSs, in the \u201cTi &amp;lt; 60 groups,\u201d the dose of ICSs was higher and reduced slowly, and the dose difference between the two groups began to appear after 5 months of follow-up.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> TRACK is essential for pre-schoolers with asthma at the time they are diagnosed. In addition, if the TRACK initial score is &amp;lt; 60, the probability of poor prognosis is higher.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2021.690333","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,30]],"date-time":"2021-06-30T04:21:43Z","timestamp":1625026903000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The
