The Asthma Impairment and Risk Questionnaire (AIRQ?) Predicts Short- and Long-term Risk of Exacerbations in Adolescents and Adults with Asthma

The Asthma Impairment and Risk Questionnaire (AIRQ®) is a 10-item, yes/no, control tool: 0-1 yes responses indicate well-controlled (WC); 2-4 not well-controlled (NWC); 5-10 very poorly controlled (VPC). AIRQ® predicts exacerbations within the next 12 months. This study examines the ability of AIRQ® to predict exacerbations within a short-term (0-3 months) and long-term (4-12 months) time frame.
