Patients with concomitant medical conditions and those who received a critical intervention, other than continuously aerosolized albuterol, in the ED before admission were excluded. Data collected included patient demographics, clinical characteristics including clinical asthma scores (CASs), hospital course, and adverse events.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A total of 384 patients were included in the analyses (mean age, 8.2 \u00b1 4.5 years). Thirty-four patients (8.9%) received at least 1 critical intervention. No patients were intubated, had central venous catheter placement, and developed circulatory collapse or pneumothoraxes. Independent predictors associated with an increased likelihood of receiving a critical intervention included age above 8 years (odds ratio [OR], 4.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.9\u20139.4), previous PICU admission (OR, 3.2; 95% CI, 1.5\u20136.6), altered mental status on ED arrival (OR, 4.5; 95% CI, 1.5\u201313.4), CAS on ED arrival of 5 or greater (OR, 3.4; 95% CI, 1.3\u20139.1), and CAS on PICU admission of 5 or greater (OR, 4.3; 95% CI, 1.8\u201310.2).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Patients admitted to the PICU for status asthmaticus infrequently require critical interventions if they have not been initiated in the ED.
