Abstract

Objective - To investigate the correlation between some demographic factors and the levels of severity or occurrence of diseases among asthmatic patients using statistical analysis. Background - One of the main causes of illness and mortality in India is bronchial asthma. Knowing the epidemiology of these people is crucial for the planning and delivery of asthma care since asthma places a significant load on health economic resources. Materials and methods -A prospective, observational study on the outpatient clinics at the J.N. Shory hospital in Panchkula, and other locations was carried out from July 2021 to June 2022. Demographic assessment was evaluated using the WHO's prescription indicators. The statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) descriptive analysis studies were used to analyse the data. Results - Age, gender, social habits, causes and severity of diseases affect the assessment of quality of life in patients with asthma. Significant result was obtained i.e. (p=0.00) when gender, age and the social habits were compared with the causes and when gender, age were compared with the occurrences the results was non significant i.e., (p=0.108), On the other hand result of social habits with occurrence was found to be significant (p=0.00). Conclusion and Recommendations - This study showed that asthma attacks are becoming more common and sever in both male (42%) and female (58%), particularly, those at age 40-49yrs (55%) affected from asthma. According to the literature, comparing demographic information with clinical state can help predict the severity of asthma and perhaps even the outcome. This calls for greater caution in the treatment of this particular group of asthmatics than any other
