Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Acute exacerbations contribute significantly to the morbidity of asthma. Recent studies have shown that early detection and treatment of asthma exacerbations leads to improved outcomes. We aimed to develop a machine learning algorithm to detect severe asthma exacerbations using easily available daily monitoring data.
