Key points:
The high proportion of children under study allowed for a more thorough analysis of this age group’s features, which are frequently understudied. It also supports previously reported findings, such as the role of viral infections of the airways in the development of exacerbations. Additionally, there is a connection between viruses and the amount of allergenic exposure in hypersensitive childrenand more severe exacerbations in poor socioeconomic instances.
The research shows a link between the exacerbations and poor socioeconomic status. This high rate may be due to both the poor health status of disadvantaged populations and the lack of monitoring, education, and therapeutic adherence among those in this socioeconomic group, who may be more likely to seek care in hospitals without first consulting a doctor. Additionally, research has demonstrated a link between asthma control and socioeconomic status. Additionally, it was shown that there is an inversely proportionate relationship between education level and the usage of emergency treatment.
