{"doi":"10.2147/jaa.s465550","title":"Asthma Control and Associated Factors Among Children with Current Asthma – Findings from the 2019 Child Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System – Asthma Call-Back Survey","abstract":"Purpose: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and correlates of uncontrolled asthma among children with current asthma in four US states. We also determined the rates and correlates of asthma-related hospitalization, urgent care center (UCC), or emergency department (ED) visits. Participants and Methods: We analyzed the 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) Asthma Call-back Survey (ACBS) datasets. Asthma control status was classified as well-controlled or uncontrolled asthma based on day- and night-time asthma symptoms, activity limitation or use of rescue medications. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify the correlates of uncontrolled asthma and asthma-related hospitalization or UCC/ED visits. Results: Among 249 children with current asthma, 55.1% had uncontrolled asthma while 40% reported asthma-related hospitalization or UCC/ED visits in the past year. Non-Hispanic ethnicity, ages of 0-9 and 15-17 years, household income <$25,000, and not having a flu vaccination had higher odds of uncontrolled asthma. Conversely, asthma self-management education and households with two children compared to one were positively associated with uncontrolled asthma. For healthcare utilization, male and non-Hispanic children, along with those from households earning <$25,000 exhibited higher odds of asthma-related hospitalization and UCC/ED visits. Conclusion: Uncontrolled asthma and asthma-related visits to UCC/ED and hospitalization are common among children with current asthma. These outcomes are influenced by low household income and male sex, among other factors which call for multi-faceted interventions by healthcare providers and policymakers. Targeted strategies to effectively manage asthma and reduce the need for emergency healthcare services are recommended.","journal":"Journal of Asthma and Allergy","year":2024,"id":456105,"datarank":0.3515553409426564,"base_score":1.9459101490553132,"endowment":1.9459101490553132,"self_citation_contribution":0.29188652235829704,"citation_network_contribution":0.05966881858435933,"self_endowment_contribution":0.29188652235829704,"citer_contribution":0.05966881858435933,"corpus_percentile":49.8568886826023,"corpus_rank":6483,"citation_count":6,"citer_count":6,"citers_with_citation_signal":4,"citers_with_endowment":4,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":true,"is_dataset_confidence":0.5779,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2024-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1280539,"name":"Kebede Beyene","orcid":"0000-0002-1057-2593","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":939062,"name":"Shivani Patel","orcid":"0000-0003-2971-0383","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1280540,"name":"Teferi Gedif Fenta","orcid":"0000-0001-8500-6708","position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":317020,"name":"Anne M.
