Risk factors for hospitalization in subspecialty patients with severe persistent asthma.
Article in Respiratory medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesChildren with severe persistent asthma managed by subspecialists represent a unique patient population. The factors predisposing these children to hospital admission are poorly understood. This study aimed to identify factors associated with future emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalization in this group.
methodsA chart review was conducted for children with severe persistent asthma evaluated by a pulmonologist between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022. Asthma-related ED visits and hospitalizations were recorded from electronic medical records. Chi-square testing, mixed effects modeling, and logistic regression were used to analyze associations between patient characteristics and hospitalization. A secondary analysis evaluated factors contributing to ED visits.
resultsWe identified 244 unique patients with 487 pulmonary clinic visits. Of these, 56 % were black, 58 % had public insurance, and 32 % had a history of ICU admission for asthma. In the 12 months following a clinic visit, 84 (34 %) patients had an ED visit, and 46 (19 %) had at least one hospitalization. Secondhand smoke exposure (OR 2.74, 95 % CI 1.16-6.45), public insurance (OR 3.37, 95 % CI 1.46-7.82), and prior ICU admission (OR 2.29, 95 % CI 1.09-4.79) were positively associated with hospitalization for asthma exacerbation. Among hospitalized patients, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) were linked to shorter time to admission.
conclusionsDespite subspecialty care, children with severe persistent asthma exposed to cigarette smoke, with prior ICU admission, or with public insurance are at higher risk of subsequent ED visits and hospitalization. These findings will inform targeted interventions to prevent hospitalization in this patient population.
