Abstract
Costs of childhood asthma are high (0.9% of the healthcare expenditures in Portugal). Direct costs represented three-fourth of total costs, mainly related to the use of healthcare services for acute asthma care. Policies and interventions to improve asthma control and reduce acute use of healthcare services have the potential to reduce asthma costs.
