3/ More than 5,000 people die from asthma each year in the United States. Although asthma deaths are infrequent, they have increased significantly during the last two decades. From 1975-1979, the death rate was 8.2 per 100,000 people. That rate jumped in 1993-1995 to 17.9 per 100,000.
4/ In 1994, asthma caused 451,000 hospitalizations. Children under 15 accounted for 169,000 of these.
5/ In 1995, asthma caused more than 1.8 million emergency room visits.
