help identify children admitted to the hospital with asthma who may need more aggressive, targeted assessments and/or interventions may prevent asthma attacks and reduce disparities,
-
601 children hospitalized for asthma were evaluated and placed in one of three categories, or risk strata: low, medium or high risk.
-
low geographic risk, children in the high risk category were 80 percent more likely to be rehospitalized or revisit the emergency room
-
high-risk children had caregivers who were five times more likely to report two or more financial hardships in their households and three times more likely to report psychological distress.
-
. Poor, urban and minority children are at the highest risk for emergency room treatment and hospital admission
-
identification of children at increased risk could allow additional assessments and services to be put in place prior to discharge to improve patient outcomes
-
e to use the geographic social risk index to study other asthma outcomes and other conditions, such as diabetes mellitus.
-
introduction of geographic data into clinical care leads to more in-depth and reliable triage of patients.
