Abstract
Background Asthma is a worldwide disease, affecting about 300 million people over the world, with reports of increased prevalence the last decades. Asthma is the forth cause of hospitalizations in Brazil. Hospital admissions to achieve clinical control of asthma are responsible for a significant part of the direct costs on health care by the Brazil’s Unified Health System (SUS), and affect the quality of life of patients and their families. Recent advances in medical therapy and improvements in providing access to asthma control programs can lead to rapid changes in rates of hospital admission. This paper updates the trends in hospitalizations due to asthma in Brazil.
