Risk Factors for Life-Threatening Asthma Attacks and Asthma-Related Mortality in Children-A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Awareness of factors associated with life-threatening asthma attacks and asthma mortality is essential for risk prediction in asthma care. There is limited evidence to inform risk factors in children and young people (CYP). The aim of this systematic review is to synthesize existing data to report risk factors for life-threatening asthma attacks and asthma deaths in CYP.

Methods

This review followed PRISMA-reporting-guidelines and was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023494203). We included observational studies of CYP aged 0-18 years with asthma, published in English, from 2000 to the present, exploring variables influencing asthma mortality and life-threatening attacks (defined as intensive care [ICU] admissions).
