The objective of this study is to describe the age and sex distribution of adult patients (ages 15-59) in Malta, admitted because of severe acute asthma. The study was designed using a retrospective review of all acute adult asthma admissions to determine the 5-year cumulative prevalence of acute asthma admission from 1989 to 1993 to St. Luke’s Hospital, the only acute medical facility serving the whole of the island of Malta. The results of this study showed that the female predominance in adult asthma admission rates reflects a larger number of female patients who require hospital admission rather than higher admission rates per person in females as compared to males.peer-reviewe
