Table III weights, each odds ratio rounded to a whole number: parental asthma 2, eczema before age 3 years 2, wheezing apart from colds 3, early wheezing before age 3 years 3, skin-prick tests positive to at least 2 aeroallergens or food allergens 2, African American race 2. The score runs from 0 to 14. Scores under 9 were called mild to moderate risk, and scores of 9 or more agreed with the highest-risk Asthma Predictive Index group. (2019)

Scope: Young children assessed for later asthma, using factors from the first 3 years of life. The outcome in the derivation cohort was asthma at about age 7.
