Anti-Asthmatic Agent, Drug Exposure

This concept set was developed by a data scientist (KH) for a study led by CHOP clinicians Dr. Jonathan Spergel and Dr. Stan Gabryszewski, which investigates dupilumab use and autoimmune diseases in patients with asthma and atopic dermatitis. The codeset was used to identify patients with indication of moderate-to-severe asthma, based on their combinations of asthma drugs. The codeset is designed for use with the PEDSnet data model. The "category" column includes various types of asthma drugs, which together may provide information about asthma severity: injection, short-acting beta agonist (SABA), leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA), inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), long-acting beta agonist (LABA), combination ICS and LABA (combo), Cromolyn, zileuton, and theophylline.
