Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Our study had several limitations. QIP hospitals represented a limited number of hospitals in Japan. Therefore, it is difficult to generalize our results to nationwide pediatric asthma patients. However, a previous study15 for adult’s asthma patients showed similar results to ours. Therefore, we consider that our findings also have validity for inpatients. Although most outpatients with asthma usually visit clinics, acute hospitals such as QIP hospitals treat patients who have other comorbidities or follow the acute phase for asthma. Finally, we had no data about air pollution in Japan.
