A real-world evaluation of the effectiveness and Sufficiency of Current Emergency Department Preventative Strategies for Reducing Emergency Department revisits in a Canadian children's hospital: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Despite asthma guidelines' recommended emergency department preventative strategies (EDPS), repeat asthma-related emergency department (ED) visits remain frequent.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of children aged 1-17 years presenting with asthma to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) ED between September 1, 2014 - August 31, 2015. EDPS was defined as provision of education on trigger avoidance and medication technique plus documentation of an asthma action plan, a prescription for an inhaled controller medication or referral to a specialist.

Predictors of future acute asthma visits among children receiving guideline recommended emergency department discharge management.

Background: Asthma emergency department (ED) visits remain frequent among children, prompting ongoing pursuit of preventative strategies.

Objective: We identified factors associated with future acute asthma ED visits among children who had already received guideline recommended discharge management following a prior asthma ED visit.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of children ages 1-17 years with a first asthma ED visit to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Canada between September 2014-August 2015.
