Emergency department visit count: A practical tool to predict asthma hospitalization in children

Journal of Asthma Jul 12, 2019

Giangioppo S, et al. - Using health administrative data, researchers selected and analyzed a pediatric population (aged 2–16.99 years) with asthma emergency department (ED) visits between 2012 and 2015, to investigate the role of frequency of ED visits as a predictor of future asthma hospitalization in children. This study included 2669 patients with 3300 asthma ED visits. As for future hospitalization, 2.9 and 4.4 were the estimated adjusted hazard in children with one visit or two or more visits, respectively, when compared to zero previous visits. Overall, a reliable prediction of future asthma hospitalization risk was achieved with the help of ED visit count in this study.
