title: Predicting asthma in individual patients.
abstract: The degree to which asthma attacks were related to seven environmental variables was determined for each of 17 individuals. Using stepwise regression procedures, cladosporium mold, ragweed pollen, and a change in temperature were significant predictors of asthma attacks in 5 of 17 individuals. The information provided by these analyses could prove useful in helping some individuals manage their asthma.
