Air pollution has potential risk on asthma patients, further prolongs the length of stay. However, it is unclear that the impact of air pollution on excessive length of stay (ELoS) of heterogeneous asthma patients. In this study, we proposed a K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) embedded approach incorporating with patient status to analyze the impact of short-term air pollution on the ELoS of asthma patients.
