DOI: 10.1038/s41533-018-0095-5
Abstract: Current understanding of risk factors for asthma attacks in children is based on studies of small but well-characterised populations or pharmaco-epidemiology studies of large but poorly characterised populations. We describe an observational study of factors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2019-036099
Abstract: Introduction Most asthma attacks and subsequent deaths are potentially preventable. We aim to develop a prognostic tool for identifying patients at high risk of asthma attacks in primary care by leveraging advances in machine learning.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2021-058215
Abstract: Introduction The reduction of the risk of asthma attacks is a major goal of guidelines. The fact that type-2 inflammatory biomarkers identify a higher risk, anti-inflammatory responsive phenotype is potentially relevant to this goal. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1183/13993003.00183-2021
Abstract: The role for antibiotics in acute asthma has been historically overestimated [1]. From a mechanistic point of view, multiplex PCR testing and conventional microbiological techniques show that >50–80% of events are associated with viral infections,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.830897
Abstract: Background Increasing evidence indicated that ozone (O3) exposure could trigger asthma attacks in children. However, the effect of O3 at low concentrations is uncertain. Purpose This study aimed to explore the effects of O3 exposure… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.865476
Abstract: Background Many children attend Emergency Departments (ED) and Out of Hours (OoH) frequently for acute asthma. Follow up care is often suboptimal leaving these children at risk of a future attacks. We report on the… read more here.
