QUANTAS-PC: Quantifying the Burden of Type 2 (T2) Inflammation in Asthma in Primary Care and Community Specialty Practices
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Summary
This study is designed to support the assessment of Type 2 (T2) biomarkers in asthma in primary care and community specialty practices. To assess T2 biomarkers, individuals will be required to complete a breath test for fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and consent to a review of their medical records. Asthma often goes undetected in primary care and community settings, and through this study the researchers hope to optimize referral pathways to care.
