Time to Asthma-Related Readmission in Children Admitted to the ICU for Asthma*

Conclusions: Children previously admitted to the ICU for asthma had a shorter time to asthma-related readmission, compared with children who did not require intensive care, underlining the importance of targeted long-term postdischarge follow-up of these children. Children of preschool age and who have a lengthier hospital stay are particularly at risk for future morbidity.
