Abstract

A consecutive sample of 378 adults with asthma were assessed at a university asthma program and then interviewed 1 year later regarding their need for emergency department (E.D.) asthma treatment. The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to determine whether any of their initial features could predict their subsequent need for E.D. asthma treatment. At one year, a total of 73 of the subjects had attended emergency departments for asthma. On entry, the 73 subjects had demonstrated more self-reported lifestyle restriction from asthma and more hospital admissions E.D. visits for asthma as well as poorer asthma control or than had the 305 subjects who had not required E.D. asthma treatment since entry to the cohort. This study suggests that special attention should be paid to subjects with asthma that interferes with their lifestyle and to those who have needed hospital admission for asthma.
