OBJECTIVE: To determine the risk factors for ER visits due to asthma exacerbations in patients monitored at a referral center.
METHODS: Prospective cohort study of 253 outpatients (children and adults) with asthma who were monitored for 12 months at the Referral Center of the Program for the Control of Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis in the city of Feira de Santana, Brazil.
RESULTS: Exacerbations were common, and 36.5% of the patients sought ER treatment within the twelve-month period. The risk factors for asthma exacerbations were being over 20 years of age (OR = 1.34: (95% CI: 1.06-1.70), residing in an urban area (OR = 1.19; 95% CI: 1.06-1.33); having a low level of education (OR = 1.53: 95% CI: 1.00-2.39); having severe asthma (OR = 1.65; 95% CI: 1.24-2.18); and having chronic rhinitis (OR = 2.20; 95% CI: 1.00-4.80).
CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort, having chronic rhinitis, having asthma that is more severe and having a low level of education were the main risk factors for ER visits due to asthma exacerbations. These results are similar to those reported for asthma patients who are receiving no regular treatment.
