Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
Main shortcoming of our study is the small sample size. This might have hampered the appearance of some statistically meaningful differences such as wheezing attacks that require steroid treatment, rate and duration of hospitalizations.
