There were 157,559 ED visits (daily mean: 86.2±40.2) for AE in Korea between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2012, corresponding to a crude ED visitation rate of 0.62 events/1,000 people/year. Overall, the rate was less than 0.1 events/1,000 people/year (n=101) in aged 0-11 months, and highest in those aged 12-23 months (7.8 events/1,000 people/year, n=18,419). The rate quickly declined until it reached 0.4 events/1,000 people/year (n=1,150) in those 13 years. After age 13, the rate did not change until age 61. In the 13 to 61 years' age group, the average ED visit was 0.27±0.06 events/1,000 people/year. The rate again started to increase, which became 0.5 events/1,000 people/year in aged 62 years, and 1.24±0.44 events/1,000 people/year in those aged ≥62 years (Fig. 1). The age-related number of emergency room visits was similar to the age-related prevalence of asthma reported previously.

Overall, the rate was started with 3.1 events/1,000 people/year (n=7,257) in aged 0-11 months, and highest in those aged 12-23 months (4.7 events/1,000 people/year, n=10,993).
