مستخلص: Quarterly analysis of 48,003 hospitalization episodes of asthma in Hong Kong from 1976 to 1985 reveals a consistent bimodal seasonal variation of hospitalization rates most noticeable in younger age groups. Statistical analysis shows that with a drop of relative humidity and an increase in wind speed, more episodes of asthma hospitalization are expected. During seasons of increased susceptibility, aggressive prophylaxis and vigilant monitoring should reduce hospitalization for those with seasonal predisposition.
