Health service accessibility and deaths from asthma
1999
International Journal of Epidemiology
Results After controlling for confounding factors, there was a significant tendency for asthma mortality to increase with travel time to hospital, with a relative risk of 1.07 for each 10-minute increase in journey time (P = 0.04). There was no consistent trend for mortality to increase with travel time to general practitioner surgeries. Conclusions The results of this study support the conclusions of earlier work that inaccessibility of acute hospital services may increase the risk of asthma
