A retrospective comparative analysis of clinical aspects and prehospital treatment considering the outcome of the status has been performed for asthma patients admitted to the resuscitation department. Late hospitalization, inadequate hormonotherapy, nosocomial bronchopulmonary infection are suggested to be significant and independent risk factors for death in status asthmaticus.
