    Risk Score for Asthma Exacerbation (RSE)

    Predicts likelihood of asthma exacerbation within 6 months.
    When to Use
    Pearls/Pitfalls
    Why Use

    Patients with poorly-controlled asthma.

    • The Risk Score for Asthma Exacerbation (RSE) suggests which patients will experience an asthma exacerbation within 6 months.
    • The RSE should be further studied - while its validation was large, it was not validated outside of its own derivation cohort.
    • It was developed from pharmaceutical trials of patients with poorly controlled asthma, so it may not be applicable to patients with milder asthma severity.

    A score to help determine likelihood of exacerbation may assist in guiding therapy and/or monitoring.
