Asthma & Lung

PrecISE, the Precision Interventions for Severe and/or Exacerbation-Prone Asthma Network, is a research study to understand how to treat different types of severe asthma. We are looking for people who have asthma attacks or frequent asthma symptoms. Everyone in the study will receive one or more study medicines for their severe asthma. This study is sponsored by the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). This study is designed to investigate new treatments for asthma that are thought to work better in some patients than in others.

No study has been performed to prospectively record the presenting complaints, signs, symptoms and comorbidities of children who raised the suspicion of pulmonary embolism (PE). Clinicians must extrapolate what is known about PE in adults to children. Perhaps as a result, the mortality rate of PE is the same in children as it is in adults. On the other hand, tens of thousands of low risk children and adolescents are unnecessarily exposed to increased lifetime cancer risk from ionizing radiation from CT scans done to search for PE they do not have.
