Asthma Exacerbations
� Period of greatest risk on the patient� Cause of anxiety to patients with asthma� Great stress on health care system

Effect of Treatment
� ≥12 years of age� n=1970� Severe asthma
exacerbations continue to be experienced by all patients groups

Effect of Treatment
� Well controlled patients on optimal medications, can still experience severe exacerbations

Severity of Asthma
� Australian state of Victoria
� 1986 to 1989� N=51, 20 yo or less � 32% had no previous
hospital admission � 39% had preventable
elements� inadequate assessment
or therapy (68%)� poor compliance (53%)� delay in seeking help
(47%)

Future Exacerbation Predictors
� 563 children� 6–11 years of age� Future severe exacerbation predictors:
� Recent severe exacerbation in the previous 6 months
� Three to four allergic triggers� Very poorly controlled asthma

Conclusion
� Predicting the risk of asthma exacerbations is still an area of active research
� Severe exacerbations may occur in both controlled and uncontrolled asthma
� Recent severe exacerbation in the previous 6 months is a strong predictor of future exacerbations
� Very poorly controlled asthma is a risk factor for asthma exacerbation
