During Hajj and Umrah season, asthma-related acute admissions produce theenormous burden on healthcare facilities and causes delay in admissions for more severe cases,e.g. myocardial infarction, cardiac failure and severe trauma cases. Therefore, the snapshot ofasthma-related admissions during the Hajj and Umrah season was determined by asthma-relatedadmissions and medication use and economic burden during Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage season.Methodology: All asthma-related admissions during the month of Ramadan (fasting month) andHajj pilgrimage were assessed from patients’ data retrospectively. The convenience samplingstrategy was used to retrieve study variables. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS)Version 22.0 was used to analyze the data.Results: A total of 271 patients were selected as per inclusion criteria, the majority of them weremales 153 (56.5%), while most of them were Saudi 70 (35.8%) and Egyptians 86 (31.7%). Duringhospitalization, the common treatment for acute exacerbations was inhaled corticosteroids 224(86.3%), IV corticosteroids 129 (47.6%), Inhaled short-acting beta-agonists 244 (90%) and inhaledbronchodilators (ipratropium bromide) 237(87.5 5%).Conclusion: This periodic mapping of asthma-related admissions and its management duringthese massive gathering events is indeed a significant effort to explore issues of acute asthmaexacerbations management and to provide information to plan for future interventions and policies.
