Direct and indirect costs associated with the management of childhood asthma

R J Marion et al. Ann Allergy. 1985 Jan.

Abstract

The financial impact of childhood asthma has not been assessed since Vance and Taylor reported their data in Annals of Allergy 13 years ago. The present study updates the financial impact the direct costs (e.g., physician fees) have on families and assesses the indirect expenditures (e.g., income loss) associated with managing a child's asthma.
