Data were extracted on history, disease severity, and pharmacotherapy used in the ED and at discharge. The primary outcome was the proportion of children prescribed \u201ccomprehensive therapy,\u201d i.e., albuterol via metered dose inhaler (MDI) with oral and ICS.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> The overall rate of comprehensive therapy was 382 of 654 (58%), which varied from 30% to 84% (p\u2003&lt;\u20030.0001). A total of 570 of 575 children discharged on albuterol received MDIs. Although the rates of prescriptions for oral and ICS were both 80%, only 58% of patients without ICS on arrival were offered ICS at discharge. There was significant variation in the rates of all discharge pharmacotherapies across centers. The independent predictors of comprehensive therapy were daytime presentation (odds ratio [OR]\u2003=\u20031.67, 95% confidence interval [CI]\u2003=\u20031.05 to 2.67) and \u201cintensive stabilization\u201d (OR\u2003=\u20032.33, 95% CI\u2003=\u20031.29 to 2.67). Seventeen patients (2.6%) were prescribed antibiotics. Children were more likely to receive antibiotics if they had moderate to severe exacerbations (OR\u2003=\u20032.8) or received a chest radiograph (OR\u2003=\u20038.4).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold> The overwhelming majority of children discharged from Canadian pediatric EDs with acute asthma are prescribed inhaled albuterol via MDIs. Although the corticosteroid use at discharge is higher than previously reported, utilization of new prescriptions for ICS may not be optimal. Children presenting during daytime to EDs receiving intensive stabilization are more likely to receive the albuterol\/oral steroid\/ICS combination.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1553-2712.2012.01433.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,15]],"date-time":"2012-09-15T05:08:54Z","timestamp":1347685734000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Practice Patterns in Asthma Discharge Pharmacotherapy in Pediatric Emergency Departments: A Pediatric Emergency Research Canada Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Suzanne","family":"Schuh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roger","family":"Zemek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amy","family":"Plint","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karen J.
