Residential instability, neighborhood deprivation, and pediatric asthma outcomes
Pediatric Pulmonology Apr 15, 2020
Molina AL, et al. - Researchers performed a retrospective cross‐sectional study to quantify the main and interactive effects of neighborhood deprivation and residential instability (RI) on pediatric asthma outcomes. The sample consisted of patients (n = 664) with a primary diagnosis of asthma hospitalized at a tertiary care pediatric hospital. Data reported that 21% had severe persistent/other asthma, 22% had severe hospitalization, 37% were readmitted to the emergency department (ED), and 19% were rehospitalized. RI was independently linked to more severe chronic asthma, greater risk of 365‐day ED readmission, and greater risk of 365‐day rehospitalization. No significant associations were found between area deprivation index and these outcomes. In addition, no significant evidence of interactive effects were found. RI seems to be modestly linked to pediatric asthma outcomes, independent of current neighborhood deprivation.
