    Attention COACH STUDY participants:

    The principal investigators of the study request that you use the official version of the modified score here.

    Modified Asthma Predictive Index (mAPI)

    Predicts future asthma in pediatric patients.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    This score applies to pediatric patients ≤3 years old.
    When to Use
    Pearls/Pitfalls
    Why Use

    Children ≤3 years old with known wheezing.

    • The Modified Asthma Predictive Index (mAPI) provides a method for predicting likelihood of a later asthma diagnosis.
    • It is only applicable in young children with 4 or more episodes of wheezing per year.
    • The mAPI's predictive ability depends heavily on prevalence of asthma in the general population.

    A standardized score for determining which children are at higher risk for development of asthma may improve care or disease detection, possibly better than the Asthma Predictive Index (API).
