This cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence of a positive history of hospital emergency visits (HHEV) among asthmatic Saudi schoolboys. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires to parents. The prevalence rate for positive HHEV among questionnaire-diagnosed asthmatic boys (QDAs) was 65.0%. Factors associated with positive HHEV among QDAs were determined. Modifying the preventable factors associated with the total number of hospital emergency room visits is expected to decrease the severity and the disability of this disease.
这项横断面研究旨在确定沙特男学生哮喘患者中曾前往医院急诊就诊（HHEV）的阳性病史患病率。通过向家长发放自填式问卷收集数据。问卷诊断哮喘男孩（QDA）中HHEV阳性的患病率为65.0%。确定了与QDA中HHEV阳性相关的因素。改变与医院急诊室就诊总数相关的可预防因素有望降低该疾病的严重程度和致残率。
