## Background: Prior studies investigating the effect of socioeconomic status (ses) on asthma health care outcomes have been heterogeneous in the populations studied and methodologies used. ## Objective: We sought to systematically synthesize evidence investigating the impact of ses on asthma health care utilization, exacerbations, and mortality. ## Methods: We searched embase, medline, and web of science for studies reporting differences in primary care attendance, exacerbations, emergency department attendance, hospitalization, ventilation/intubation, readmission, and asthma mortality by ses. study quality was assessed using the newcastle ottawa scale, and meta-analyses were conducted using random-effects models. we conducted several prespecified subgroup analyses, including by health care system (insurance based vs universal government funded) and time period (before vs after 2010). ## Results: A total of 61 studies, comprising 1,145,704 patients, were included. lower ses was consistently associated with increased secondary health care utilization including emergency department attendance (odds ratio [or], 1.61; 95% confidence interval [ci], 1.40-1.84), hospitalization (or, 1.63
