Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the predictive ability of three asthma risk markers:
the ratio of controller medication to total asthma medication, an albuterol only marker, and
an oral corticosteroid use marker, as well as to compare the precision of these tools between
adult and pediatric patient populations. This retrospective longitudinal analysis will use 2
different databases: a large managed care database and a large fee for service Medicaid
database.
