Author response to “do we need to keep playing this tune?”

We thank Dr. Weinberger for the interest in our publication "Dexamethasone for inpatient childhood asthma exacerbations is as effective as short-acting corticosteroid treatment."1 The growing number of studies in this area reflects the importance of refining our approach to treating children with acute asthma exacerbations, the most common reason for childhood hospitalizations in the U.S.2 We believe our report fills an important knowledge gap by answering the question whether a two-dose dexamethasone regimen is as effective as short-acting systemic corticosteroid for hospitalized children.
