Socioeconomic status has direct impact on asthma control: Turkish adult asthma registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Asthma is one of the most common causes of chronic respiratory disease, and countries with low socioeconomic status have both a high prevalence of asthma and asthma-related death.

Objective

In this study, we aimed to determine socioeconomic levels of asthmatic patients according to a national database and investigate the effects of social markers on disease control in our region.

Methods

This is an analysis of data from 2053 adult asthma patients from a multicentre chart study in Turkey. Socioeconomic status (SES) data were collected from questionnaires and this form was sent to the patients via e-mail. Parameters related to social status and poor disease control were analyzed.

Results

Illiteracy (OR:2.687 [95% CI: 1.235-5.848]; p = 0.013) and lower
