    Attention COACH STUDY participants:

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

    Prevention and Incidence of Asthma and Mite Allergy (PIAMA) Risk Score

    Determines risk of asthma for school age children.
    When to Use
    Pearls/Pitfalls
    Why Use

    Children with known wheezing.

    • The Prevention and Incidence of Asthma and Mite Allergy (PIAMA) Risk Score provides a method for predicting likelihood of a later asthma diagnosis.
    • The PIAMA Score'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 and/or disease detection.
