Based on data owned by Asthma UK, asthma has killed three people every day and every seven minutes someone in the UK were taken to hospital as a result of a fatal asthma attack.
This is consistent with a recent study that found that a third of asthma sufferers at high risk for fatal asthma attack. These findings come from an online test, which was launched a few months ago by Asthma UK to know how serious the condition of asthma in patients with asthma.
25,000 people took part in a test called Triple A (Ashtma Avoid Asthma Attacks Attack or avoid) such and given a few simple questions about the factors that may exacerbate the disease.
Before you take the test, less than half of the participants are aware that he is at risk. However Ashtma UK believe the majority of asthma-related emergencies can still be avoided. It is estimated that more than 75 percent more likely to be hospitalized due to asthma attacks can be prevented by better management of the disease.
Unfortunately, the latest findings show that people with asthma are very underestimated the risk of developing asthma. More than half of participants (55 percent) did not think he was at high risk. Though the test results Triple A show that 93 percent of those at high risk or very high.
Participants were divided into three categories with a code red, yellow and green. Category red means very high risk of experiencing a serious asthma attack while the green category showed no risk at all. Among them, there was yellow category that accompanied the suggestion that the participants in this category should be tested for risk of asthma attacks.
Each category is also accompanied by a variety of input on how to control asthma symptoms and what to do if someone is really under attack.
The test was also emphasized that asthma occurs in each person may vary, the symptoms can come and go so there is no way to completely eliminate the risk of attack.
People who are hospitalized due to his asthma in the last six months tend to have an increased risk of serious asthma attack. Likewise with asthma sufferers who rely on inhalernya 5 times a day or more or steroid tablet users to overcome asthma.
"It is very worrying that many asthmatics are unaware of the risk of asthma itself," said Neil Churchill of Asthma UK.
