Analysis of correlation between pediatric asthma exacerbation and exposure to pollutant mixtures with association rule mining

Conclusions The proposed method can be used to analyze risk variations caused by single and multiple exposures. The method is reliable and requires fewer assumptions on the data than parametric approaches. Rules including more than one pollutant highlight interactions that deserve further investigation, while helping to limit the search field.
