A clinical scoring method was used to assess the severity of the presentation of acute asthma in children admitted to hospital over a 20 year period. A significant increase in severity was observed between 1975 and 1985, as well as an overall 29-fold increase in admission numbers between 1965 and 1985. Changes in drug treatment of acute asthma over this period are reported.
