Association of exercise-induced wheeze and other asthma symptoms with emergency department visits and hospitalizations in a large cohort of urban adolescents
Respiratory Medicine Jan 24, 2018
Gould CF, et al. - Exercise-induced wheeze (EIW) has been found to be associated with asthma-related urgent care in school-aged children. In this current study, researchers looked at the association of EIW and other asthma symptoms to asthma-related ED visits and hospitalizations in urban adolescents with probable asthma, presuming that EIW would be associated with urgent care. Among urban adolescents with probable asthma, EIW did not appear to be related to ED visits and hospitalizations, unlike findings with younger children. For the detection of adolescents at risk for asthma-related urgent care, chest tightness and night wakening appeared to be crucial symptoms.
