Abstract

Performance of PARS across Diverse PopulationsThe methods to determine whether a toddler is likely to develop asthma by 5 to 10 years of age were developed and validated in homogenous populations. The Pediatric Asthma Risk Score was tested to determine whether this score was a reliable predictor in diverse populations, and it functioned well when tested with data from a broad range of backgrounds.
