This study aimed to describe some of the risk factors  of asthma in Basra south in Iraq; The study showed that (3,5) age group population were more affected with asthma (27.9%) and the Females were more affected than males in group 2,3and 5 (6.4%,15.7% and 14.7%)respectively compared to( 4.9%, 12.3% and 13.2) .In same group of male. While There were (68.6%) of patients came from urban areas in comparison to (31.4%) of cases who came from rural areas.

OBJECTIVE:To review the medical literature on outcome of treatment of acute asthma in the emergency department and issue recommendations regarding patient admission or discharge.DATA SOURCES:A MEDLINE search was done for articles in the English language on acute asthma and treatment in the emergency department for the years 1975 to 1993. In addition, references in pertinent review articles were reviewed.STUDY SELECTION:Studies addressing treatment of acute asthma in emergency departments were selected by consensus.DATA SYNTHESIS:Three major areas have been shown to affect outcome and the decision to admit or discharge a patient following treatment in the emergency department: first, the severity of the attack and the response to therapy; second, historical risk factors; and third, care following discharge from the emergency department. This paper reviews the literature on outcome of acute asthma attacks and issues recommendations regarding objective airflow measurements and co-existing risk factors to be assessed before discharging patients. The role of anti-inflammatory therapy in emergency department treatment and in postdischarge treatment of these patients is also reviewed.CONCLUSION:Evaluation for discharge following treatment of acute asthma should integrate objective measures of airflow obstruction with historical high risk factors. The use of systemic corticosteroids in the emergency department and following discharge, with careful follow-up, may help control the attack and reduce relapse of asthma.

Anxiety in asthma has been measured in two ways. The MMPI Panic-Fear scale is a measure of general, nonillness specific anxiety and the Panic-Fear symptom scale of the Asthma Symptom Checklist is a measure of illness-specific anxiety focused on the asthma attack. Both measures relate to response styles in asthma which contribute to the maintenance of illness. In the present study of 140 asthmatic patients, MMPI Panic-Fear scores were highly related to trait-anxiety measured by the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, even after partialling out checklist Panic-Fear symptom scores. In contrast, Panic-Fear symptomatology had a more moderate relationship to the Taylor Anxiety scores and was independent of the Taylor scores after partialling out MMPI Panic-Fear scores. The results support earlier findings suggesting that MMPI Panic-Fear measures trait anxiety. In contrast, checklist Panic-Fear symptom reports measure an illness-specific state anxiety that is not per se a measure of trait anxiety.
