A computational phenotype for difficult-to-treat asthma with corticosteroid overuse using electronic health care records

Key Points

• Difficult-to-treat asthma and corticosteroid overuse can be identified effectively using a computational phenotype.
• The approach analyzes electronic health records to streamline patient identification processes.
• This analysis reveals a significant link between corticosteroid overuse and treatment challenges in asthma management.
• Results may enable better-targeted interventions for patients facing asthma-related difficulties.
