Abstract
A very strong and significant association between ED visits or hospital admissions for asthma and SABA prescriptions was observed, which suggests that SABA prescription fills can be used as a marker for asthma morbidity. In addition, a temporal association exists between claims for ED visits or hospital admissions for asthma and SABA prescription claims when an ED visit or hospital admission precedes the SABA prescription
