Abstract

New York City (NYC) experienced substantial improvements in asthma-related emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations at the end of the 20th century. However, in the Bronx, one of NYC’s largest counties, the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene reported an increase in ED visits between 2010-2016 that was not observed in the other four NYC boroughs, where ED visits remained largely consistent over this period. This study aims to identify unique factors that may be associated with asthma-related ED visits and hospitalizations in the Bronx.
