Asthma exacerbations and socio-economic status in French adults with persistent asthma: A prospective cohort study.

Introduction: Adults disadvantaged by poor socio-economic status (SES) are more severely affected by asthma compared to those with better SES. We aimed to determine whether the frequency of asthma exacerbations (AEx), as well as aspects related to AEx management, differed based on SES in patients treated with daily treatments.

Methods: This study, part of the prospective observational cohort ASTRO-LAB, included French adult patients with persistent asthma.
