About this trial

GPs are one of the key players in the early diagnosis of chronic diseases, such as asthma in pre-school children, by detecting symptoms of illness as early as possible. Patient health data is collected on an ongoing basis in GPs' electronic medical records, but remains little exploited despite its potential.

Helping GPs to identify asthma in pre-school children, based on the information in their electronic medical records, could help them to diagnose the condition early and thereby reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with it.

An algorithm developed and evaluated in a primary care data warehouse should help GPs to identify children with a diagnosis of asthma at an early stage.
