Long-term asthma-related readmissions: Comparison between children admitted and not admitted to the intensive care unit for critical asthma
Journal of Asthma Sep 28, 2019
Jroundi I, et al. - Researchers undertook this retrospective cohort study to compare children admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for asthma vs those with a non-ICU hospitalization in the United States, in terms of time to asthma-related readmission. They also investigated risk factors related to readmission among children admitted to the ICU. The participants aged between 2–17 years and were identified from the State Inpatient Database (2005-2014). An increased risk of asthma-related readmission was found in children admitted to the ICU for asthma vs those not admitted to the ICU. Among children admitted to the ICU, a higher risk of asthma-related readmission was reported in relation to being preschool-aged, female, Black, and have lower household income and a longer length of stay during the initial hospitalization. Florida-specific risk factors included preschool age and Medicaid, and New York-specific risk factor was Hispanic ethnicity.
