• Research summary

  This project will use routinely acquired hospital admission data in children to link early illnesses leading to admissions to later admissions. For example, bronchiolitis is thought to increase an individual's chance of asthma and this project will link admissions with bronchiolitis in young children to later asthma admissions to see if the two are linked.
