Abstract
The underlying reason for diagnostic delay could be that a former diagnostic definition of asthma, focussing on severe and dramatic cases, was still used by doctors. However, adapting to a new diagnostic concept for asthma, which highlights a history of periodic or chronic cough, wheeze and/or breathing difficulties and the typical asthma pattern in toddlers as shown in this study, may enable earlier diagnosis and treatment.
