Asthma is a common respiratory disease. around the world. Asthma exacerbation is one of the major sequelae and associated with various morbidity and mortality. A satisfactory asthma control can help to bring down the risk of exacerbation and hence hospitalization. However, the real-world evidence on the clinical factors that leads to multiple admissions, when compared with single admission, due to asthma exacerbation is scarce.
