The rate of asthma deaths in the United States has generally decreased over time since 2001. In 2021, there were around 10.6 deaths from asthma per one million population. This statistic shows the rate of deaths due to asthma among adults and children in the U.S. from 2001-2021.

This dataset contains counts and rates (per 1,000,000 residents) of asthma deaths among Californians statewide and by county. The data are stratified by age group (all ages, 0-17, 18+) and reported for 3-year periods. The data are derived from the California Death Statistical Master Files, which contain information collected from death certificates. All deaths with asthma coded as the underlying cause of death (ICD-10 CM J45 or J46) are included.

The rate of asthma deaths in the United States in 2022 was highest among those aged 80 to 84 years. This statistic shows the rate of deaths due to asthma in the U.S. in 2022, by age.

Mississippi, New Hampshire, and Oklahoma were the top three leading U.S states by number of deaths due to asthma per 100,000 population as of 2022. Mississippi reported 1.6 deaths per 100,000 population with asthma as the underlying cause of death. In 2021, around 40 percent of people in the United States with asthma reported experiencing an asthma episode in the past 12 months. Prevalence As of 2022, around eight percent of individuals in the United States were reported to currently have asthma. New Hampshire and Rhode Island were the leading states by lifetime prevalence of asthma among adults in 2021. Furthermore, Rhode Island and Maine have the highest current prevalence of asthma among adults in the United States. Treatment Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the airways of the lungs, and can cause shortness of breath, tightness or pain in the chest, coughing, and wheezing. Asthma symptoms can be treated through corticosteroid inhalers, such as albuterol. The number of albuterol prescriptions in the United States was around 59 million in 2022. The current out-of-pocket cost for albuterol is eight U.S. dollars.

The MarketScan health claims database is a compilation of nearly 110 million patient records with information from more than 100 private insurance carriers and large self-insuring companies. Public forms of insurance (i.e., Medicare and Medicaid) are not included, nor are small (< 100 employees) or medium (1000 employees). We excluded the relatively few (n=6735) individuals over 65 years of age because Medicare is the primary insurance of U.S. adults over 65. The EQI was constructed for 2000-2005 for all US counties and is composed of five domains (air, water, built, land, and sociodemographic), each composed of variables to represent the environmental quality of that domain. Domain-specific EQIs were developed using principal components analysis (PCA) to reduce these variables within each domain while the overall EQI was constructed from a second PCA from these individual domains (L. C. Messer et al., 2014). To account for differences in environment across rural and urban counties, the overall and domain-specific EQIs were stratified by rural urban continuum codes (RUCCs) (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2015).

This data shows healthcare utilization for asthma by Allegheny County residents 18 years of age and younger. It counts asthma-related visits to the Emergency Department (ED), hospitalizations, urgent care visits, and asthma controller medication dispensing events. The asthma data was compiled as part of the Allegheny County Health Department’s Asthma Task Force, which was established in 2018. The Task Force was formed to identify strategies to decrease asthma inpatient and emergency utilization among children (ages 0-18), with special focus on children receiving services funded by Medicaid. Data is being used to improve the understanding of asthma in Allegheny County, and inform the recommended actions of the task force. Data will also be used to evaluate progress toward the goal of reducing asthma-related hospitalization and ED visits. Regarding this data, asthma is defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (IDC-10) classification system code J45.xxx. The ICD-10 system is used to classify diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures in the U.S. healthcare system. Children seeking care for an asthma-related claim in 2017 are represented in the data. Data is compiled by the Health Department from medical claims submitted to three health plans (UPMC, Gateway Health, and Highmark). Claims may also come from people enrolled in Medicaid plans managed by these insurers. The Health Department estimates that 74% of the County’s population aged 0-18 is represented in the data. Users should be cautious of using administrative claims data as a measure of disease prevalence and interpreting trends over time. Missing from the data are the uninsured, members in participating plans enrolled for less than 90 continuous days in 2017, children with an asthma-related condition that did not file a claim in 2017, and children participating in plans managed by insurers that did not share data with the Health Department. Data users should also be aware that diagnoses may also be subject to misclassification, and that children with an asthmatic condition may not be diagnosed. It is also possible that some children may be counted more than once in the data if they are enrolled in a plan by more than one participating insurer and file a claim on each policy in the same calendar year.
