“…The estimated prevalence from 2013 to 2019 is between 0.02% and 0.11%, which is much lower than that recorded at the regional level (about 2.4%) [19], and at the national level and compared to other cities [11,12,14,15,20,21].…”

The study aims to describe the profile of asthma patients in Agadir city (Morocco) during a period of 7 years (2013 to 2019) to identify the factors associated with asthma control. Practically, a retrospective analysis was conducted on data collected from 6 primary healthcare centers (PHC) in the city. The reported data are the age, gender, location, date of first consultation, dates of consultations, and treatment of 701 patients and care centers (PHC). Also, the proportional odds model for ordinal logistic regression was used to determine the most variables can be associated with asthma control. The analysis reveals a spatial and temporal variation according to gender. The average age of patients is 43 years. The twothirds of all recorded cases were reported in 2018 and 2019. Furthermore, the proportion of female and male represents 63% and 37% of the total reported cases, respectively. Generally, the female proportion is higher than male for all age groups. Moreover, the analysis reveals that the asthma control was reported for 19% of cases while the rest was uncontrolled. This control seems be more observed for males (OR: 1.28; 95% CI [0.87; 1.87]), for patients with age between 29 and 44 years (OR: 2.3; 95% CI [1.54; 3.44], p < 0. 001), and for patients who were cared for at the PHC1 center (OR: 21.06; 95% CI [11.13; 39.85], p < 0.001) and at the PHC2 center (OR: 13.19; 95% CI [6.54; 29.54], p < 0.001). Eventually, the current study emphasizes that the gender and care centers are the most associated factors of asthma control.

“…In Morocco, between 10% and 20% of the population are involved Nejjari et al, (2019). A rising trend in national asthma prevalence has been documented by various research since 1986 (Beasley, 1998;Bouayad et al, 2006;Chaulet, 1989).…”

Asthma is a serious public health problem. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of asthma cases reported by Agadir's Souss-Massa Regional Hospital Center (SMRHC). A retrospective analysis was carried out at the SMRHC's pneumology and paediatrics departments in 2019. As data support, reporting records and a data collection worksheet were used. This year, 141 cases were reported. The highest frequencies were observed in February (21.9%) and April (26.6%). Both males and females were affected (sex ratio Male/Female = 0.98). The asthmatics were, on average 40.7 ± 25.1 years old. The majority of the cases are from areas that are easily accessible for medical consultation at the SMRHC. To obtain more accurate knowledge and contribute to the research, related studies should be undertaken on this topic. Our findings, we hope, will act as a foundation for future research into improving the case registration system (digital support) and upgrading patient data in accordance with WHO and GINA guidelines.
