Pooled Risk of Admissions for Asthma for South Asian Children and Blacks and South Asians of All Ages, Compared with Whites

The table, derived from their study data, shows that South Asian children had an increased risk of admission, and that compared with whites, South Asians and blacks of all ages had a greater risk of admission.aRaw data unavailable.CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
