The interpersonal milieu itself may represent potentially complicated and dangerous elements as it consists of medical staff, patient, and family members, each with his or her own limitations of intellect, judgment, and capacity to cope with emotional stress and the stress engendered by a chronic, sometimes frustrating, and potentially lethal disease. Nevertheless, the literature offers a variety of features which thus far have been found to characterize at least some cases of pediatric asthma death. There is fairly consistent agreement demographically that children under 5 yr of age and between the ages of 10 and 14 yr are at increased risk, as are nonwhite children. Sex-related differences are less clear. While a standard medical profile of the pediatric asthma patient at high risk for a fatal outcome does not yet exist, a number of "increased risk" indicators have been suggested, including for example, a history of particularly severe asthma, rapid onset attacks, and medical complications.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
