Abstract
This thesis is the study of airborne grass pollens effect on asthma emergency department (ED) presentations in Queensland (QLD). Time series and spatiotemporal analysis investigated burden, seasonality and trends for ED presentation and risk for hospital admission. Burden was largely driven by female children and lightning showed an independent effect on asthma ED presentations during the study period. The burden of allergic respiratory disease in subtropical regions is significant and with increasing pollen exposure and a growing population, risk of thunderstorm asthma in QLD cannot be disregarded.
