Key result
Children with a previous ICU hospitalization for asthma had a shorter median time to asthma-related readmission compared to those with a non-ICU hospitalization (27 vs 35 months).
Why the study?
Does previous ICU hospitalization for asthma affect time to asthma-related readmission in children 2-17 years old?
Cohort (n=26,168)
Yes
Does previous ICU hospitalization for asthma affect time to asthma-related readmission in children 2-17 years old?
Absolute Event Rate: 27% vs 35%
Children requiring ICU admission for asthma are at higher risk for earlier asthma-related readmission compared to those admitted to non-ICU settings.
May support closer post-ICU surveillance in pediatric asthma; leaves open whether ICU history independently predicts readmission.

Tse et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Asthma (n=26,168). Previous ICU hospitalization for asthma vs. Non-ICU hospitalization for asthma was evaluated on Time to asthma-related readmission. Children with a previous ICU hospitalization for asthma had a shorter median time to asthma-related readmission compared to those with a non-ICU hospitalization (27 vs 35 months).
