Abstract
Routinely collected electronic healthcare records from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum were used to investigate patient characteristics associated with attendance and regular attendance of asthma annual reviews. Females, older age, ex-smokers, White ethnicity, lower socioeconomic deprivation, and comorbidities were associated with higher rates of asthma annual reviews however, females, ex-smokers, and depression were associated with less regularly reviews, indicating the sporadic nature of reviews, despite guidelines.
