Implication of excessive length of stay of asthma patient with heterogenous status attributed to air pollution

ConclusionsThe KNN embedded approach is an innovative method that takes into account the heterogeneous patient status, and effectively estimates the impact of air pollution on the ELoS. It is concluded that air pollution poses adverse effects and additional financial burdens on asthma patients. Heterogeneous patients should adopt different strategies in health management to reduce the risk of increasing the ELoS due to air pollution, and improve the efficiency of medical resource utilization.
