Title of paper: Post-hospitalisation asthma management in primary care: a retrospective cohort study
Available at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2023.0214
Asthma is a common cause of hospital admissions and clinical guidelines recommend that hospitalised patients are followed up in primary care. Little research has been done on 3 evaluating post-hospitalisation asthma management in primary care. We found that 40% of hospitalised patients did not receive asthma management in primary care following hospital discharge, particularly among patients from black ethnic minority groups. Primary and secondary care services should develop systems for ensuring the timely follow-up of asthma patients after hospital discharge and address the observed health inequities.
