Urquhart A, et al. - Given the well documentation of racial/ethnic disparities in emergency department (ED) visits due to childhood asthma, researchers examined differences among multiple racial/ethnic groups and investigated the effects of asthma management in emergent health care use among children in the United States. The sample child component of the 2013–2015 National Health Interview Survey (ages 2–17) provided data from 3,336 children with current asthma. Findings here suggest a high prevalence of asthma and a disparity in asthma related ED visits among minority children. Analysis revealed the highest prevalence of current asthma in Puerto Rican children (21.2%). Among children with asthma, all minority subgroups (except non-Hispanic other) had significantly higher odds of ED visits vs non-Hispanic white children with Hispanic other having the highest adjusted odds ratio, followed by Puerto Rican, Mexican American and non-Hispanic black children.
