Researchers are building a computer model using artificial intelligence to predict how severe asthma will be in children. The study collects information from chest CT scans, blood tests, and medical records from children with severe asthma. By teaching the computer to recognize patterns in this data, doctors hope to identify which children are at highest risk and need more aggressive treatment earlier.
Right now, doctors use standard scoring systems to measure asthma severity, but these don't always predict which children will get worse or need more intensive treatment. This study aims to create a smarter prediction tool using artificial intelligence that could help doctors catch severe asthma earlier and prevent serious complications.

If you join this study, you would have a chest CT scan (if you don't already have one scheduled) and allow researchers to collect your medical information, blood test results, and asthma history. Your data would then be used to help train the artificial intelligence model. The study involves roughly 25 children total, and your participation would help doctors develop better tools to care for children with severe asthma.
