Acute asthma exacerbations are one of the most common reasons for pediatric emergency department (PED) visits and hospitalizations, and relapse frequently necessitates repeat urgent care. While care plans exist, there are no acute asthma prediction rules (APR)to assess severity and predict outcome. The primary objective of the Acute Asthma Severity Assessment Protocol (AASAP) study is to develop a multivariable APR for acute asthma exacerbations in the pediatric patient. We are enrolling a prospective, convenience sample aged 5 to 17 years with acute asthma exacerbations who present to an urban, academic, tertiary PED. The study protocol and data analysis plan conform to accepted biostatistical and clinical standards for clinical prediction rule development. Modeling of the APR will be performed once the entire sample size of 1,500 has accrued. We anticipate that the APR will improve resource utilization in the emergency department, aid in standardization of disease assessment, and allow physician and non-physician providers to participate in earlier objective decision making. The objective of this report is to describe the study objectives and detailed methodology of the AASAP study.
