Comparison of the modified Asthma Predictive Index (mAPI) and the Pediatric Asthma Risk Score (PARS)

	mAPI^[1]	PARS^[2]
Episodes of wheezing during infancy/toddler years	++	++
Wheezing unrelated to upper respiratory illness	+	++
Eczema during infancy/toddler years	+	+
Parental history of asthma	+	+
African American race^*		+
Allergic sensitization to aero and/or food allergen	+	+
Eosinophils ≥4% in circulation	+

+: The criterion increases the likelihood of asthma.

++: Compared with other criteria in the predictive index, this symptom is required or significantly increases the likelihood of asthma.

* PARS is based upon an epidemiologic study that used self-reported race as a predictor variable. This variable is likely a surrogate for historically marginalized populations who were subject to structural and economic racism.
