Which children are still dying from asthma? A Thirteen Year Review of
Pediatric Asthma Deaths in British Columbia, Canada
Abstract
Asthma deaths were rare in children but attention should be paid to
those with a severe exacerbation (requiring systemic steroids, an ED
visit or hospitalization) in the past year, more than three beta-agonist
refills in a year and poor adherence to controller medication.
