Racial inequalities in childhood asthma.
SOCIAL SCIENCE AND MEDICINE, vol. 32, n° 7, 1991, pages 831-836, 27 réf., ISSN 0277-9536, USA
Mortality and hospital admission rates for asthma are higher in Maoris and Pacific Islander children than in European children.
These ethnic differences are not explained by ethnic differences in asthma prevalence, the characteristics of the disease or admission criteria.
There are major ethnic differences in asthma drug management both in the community and at the time of discharge from hospital.
In particular Polynesians were less likely to receive prophylactic therapy and this factor probably accounts for ethnic differences in mortality and admission rates.
