Asthma exacerbation and asthma-related emergency department (ED) visits in adults stratified by sex. The risk for asthma exacerbation and ED visits for a respiratory problem the year before SARP and NHANES participation and in 2018 in CCHS was higher in adult women than in adult men in all three cohorts. The sampling weights are used to produce the correct population estimates because each sample person does not have an equal probability of selection. CCHS = Cleveland Clinic Health System; CI = confidence interval; NHANES = U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; SARP = Severe Asthma Research Program.
