Females, older age, ex-smokers, White ethnicity, lower socioeconomic deprivation, and comorbidities were associated with higher rates of asthma annual reviews however, females, ex-smokers, and depression were associated with less regularly reviews, indicating the sporadic nature of reviews, despite guidelines.
