These findings might help prompt future studies on identifying additional potential risk factors for frequent ED visits among disproportionally affected subpopulations. Wooldridge is one of four physician champions for the NYS Asthma Control Program which is funded by the CDC to reduce asthma ED visits and admissions across the. Methods: The primary outcome of interest was a recurrent asthma ED visit within 1-year of index visit. ED visits were also greater for Medicaid/CHIP. This study aims to assess the association between trac density and recurrence of asthma ED visits in the primarily low income Medicaid population in New York State (NYS) between 20. Conclusions: Both asthma-related ED visits and post-ED hospitalizations were greater for children, blacks, and Hispanics. The percentage of ED visits was also greater for those covered by Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) than by private insurance. The percentages of asthma-related ED visits and post-ED hospitalizations (H) were greater among children (adjusted prevalence ratio: ED: 2.28 H: 8.75 ) than among adults and greater for blacks (ED: (2.26 H: 3.25 ) and Hispanics (ED: (1.74 H: 2.424 ) than for whites. emergency department visits in 2016 (5), nearly 340,000 hospitalizations in 2014 (6), and more than 3,500 deaths in 2016 (4). Results: Of all ED visits, 1.32% were asthma-related of all ED visits that resulted in hospitalization, 1.12% were asthma-related and, of all ED visits that resulted in admission to a critical care unit, 1.20% were asthma related. During 20122015, there was an annual average of 10.2 million asthma visits: 63.5 were by non-Hispanic white persons, 53.8 by. Methods: We examined the characteristics of asthma-related ED visits and hospital admissions and assessed the association between them using multivariable logistic regression models by analyzing data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) during 2010-2015. Because the ED is an important healthcare resource for immediate asthma care with acute exacerbations, we identify those populations most likely to seek ED treatment for asthma and describe the asthma burden for post-ED visit hospitalizations and critical care units. Background: Exacerbation of asthma symptoms increases the likelihood of emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations.
