Model for predicting the risk of severe bronchial asthma in children by O. E. Semernik, A. A. Lebedenko, E. B. Tyurina, M. V. Dudareva

“…A mathematical model for predicting the risk of severe bronchial asthma in children has been developed, including such factors as the child’s age, the degree of respiratory failure, the value of the peak expiratory rate, the duration of the disease, and the presence of an association of exacerbations of the disease with changes in the weather and physical activity. A computer program has also been developed that allows you to automatically calculate the amount of risk after entering the child’s data.   …”
