Investigators from the Medical University of South Carolina conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing a 2-day dexamethasone regimen with a 5-day prednisone regimen for treatment of children discharged from the emergency department (ED) with an acute asthma exacerbation.

Three separate models were created: a 5-day prednisone course, a 2-day dexamethasone course with dispensation of the second dose of dexamethasone in the ED (dexamethasone/dispense), and a 2-day dexamethasone course with a prescription for the second dose (dexamethasone/prescription).....
