2016, Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :A Cochrane review of 12 studies involving 863 subjects with acute asthma exacerbations revealed that use of corticosteroids within 1 hour of presentation to an emergency department reduced admission rates with no increase in adverse effects.62 Other studies have demonstrated the utility of systemic corticosteroid therapy during acute exacerbations in reducing relapse rates63,64 and mortality.65 Particularly for long-term or frequent use, adverse reactions of systemic corticosteroids are numerous and affect multiple organ systems (Table 5).66–68

2013, Emergency Medicine Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Systemic corticosteroids may be given either orally or intravenously. Studies have showed that the effects of oral and intravenous (IV) steroids are equivalent.37,58 Advantages of oral dosing include ease of administration and decreased cost.
