Abstract

PURPOSE: Worldwide asthma prevalence is increasing. In Singapore, 1 in 20 adults suffer from asthma with about 108 deaths annually. There have been limited local studies on fatal and near-fatal asthmatic attacks. Hence a study was undertaken to determine the clinical characteristics of adults with fatal and near-fatal asthma. This would be useful in identifying asthmatics at risk of death.
