Predictors of Future Acute Asthma Visits Among Children Receiving Guideline Recommended Emergency Department Discharge Management.

Conclusion: Children at risk for repeat acute asthma ED visits despite having a primary care provider and receiving recommended discharge management at their first ED visit can be identified by factors such as having a nut/peanut allergy, a prior asthma diagnosis, and higher severity symptoms at ED presentation. These factors can be used to target more intensive preventative interventions to those most in need. PMID: 32336173 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
