Relationship between air quality and asthma-related emergency hospital admissions in Mexico City 2017-2019

Conclusions
Ambient air pollution, within the previous week, was associated with emergency hospital admissions for asthma to public hospitals in adults in Mexico City. The relationship in children was less consistent. Further work is needed to explore why differences between adults and children exist to inform appropriate interventions to benefit public health.
