Abstract

Introduction: Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children. It is known that seasonal changes affect the number of asthma attacks and the condition of the disease under control as well. We evaluated children aged 6-11 years of age who had been diagnosed with asthma using the childhood asthma control test (C-ACT) to determine the factors affecting the control of asthma.
