Description
Ahmed Alrajeh and co-authors chart hospital stays for lung and airway diseases in Australia in a 2024 study. The team drew on a national database of hospital records. They covered all public and private hospital stays from 1998 to 2019. Their aim was to describe how often people were admitted for these diseases, and how the pattern changed over two decades.
More than eight million admission episodes were recorded in the period. The admission rate rose by about an eighth over the two decades. Most stays lasted at least one night. Admission rates rose faster for women than for men. Adults aged 15 to 59 made up the largest share of stays. Long term lower airway diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, were the most common cause. The authors call for strong public health action on these diseases.
