2 The Melbourne epidemic thunderstorm asthma event 2016: a multidisciplinary investigation of environmental triggers, health service impact and patient risk factors SUPPLEMENTARY METHODS Methods Ambulance, ED and hospital admission data The Victorian Emergency Minimum Dataset (VEMD) was used to examine all public hospital ED presentations of the major diagnostic block of respiratory system illness defined by ICD-10-AM codes. The Victorian Admitted Episodes Dataset (VAED), a comprehensive minimum dataset of admitted patient episodes, was used to analyse public hospital admissions. Excess presentations and admissions were calculated using averages derived from the corresponding time periods from the preceding 3 years. Country of birth registered on hospital admissions for asthma in this time period was also analysed. Emergency Department follow-up In the aftermath of the event, eight Melbourne Health Services collaborated to develop a unified approach for clinical follow-up. A standardized telephone questionnaire was developed to contact and follow-up ETSA patients. Questions included persistence of symptoms, previous asthma diagnosis, undiagnosed asthma symptoms, rhinitis severity, preventer usage, asthma control, action plan and healthcare utilization. Hospital staff and supervised medical student volunteers then telephoned the ETSA patients 3-4 weeks after the thunderstorm event. Clinic review was offered, triaged to an appropriate urgency based on a questionnaire structured to assess clinical risk. In the questionnaire, Asian was defined as Chinese, Vietnamese, East or South-East Asian, and Indian/subcontinental
3 included Sri Lankan, Pakistani and Bangladeshi. Approval from individual institutional review boards was obtained to pool de-identified data from all sites for combined analysis. ICU data All public hospital ICUs as well as private ICUs attached to a hospital with an emergency department in the state of Victoria were contacted. Approval was obtained from the Melbourne Health Human Research Ethics Committee (LNR/16/MH/406).
