Multicenter Study Observational StudyQuality of care for acute asthma in emergency departments in Japan: a multicenter observational study.
Little is known about the quality of acute asthma care in emergency departments (EDs) outside of North America. ⋯ The management of acute asthma in Japanese EDs is suboptimal. Greater concordance with guideline-recommended management might reduce unnecessary hospitalizations. Knowledge translation initiatives are warranted to increase adherence with best practice in acute asthma management.
