| description |
The objectives were to identify factors associated with early revisit of adult patients
with acute asthma exarcebation discharged from the Emergency Department (ED).
It was a retrospective cohort study with patients aged 12 years or more within a
period of 1 month and who were treated for acute asthma and discharged from the
ED of Sarawak General Hospital. A total of 397 patients fulfilled sampling criteria
and out of this number, 13.9% had revisit to the ED within 2 weeks. In all of these
revisit cases, 9.1% were actually admitted. Prescription rate of oral corticosteroid
was found to be low (24.9%) and abscond rate was high (25.1%). Patients who
absconded from the ED and their concurrent infection were associated with early
ED revisit. |
