A computable phenotype for influenza vaccination status in patients with asthma

Upper respiratory infections are associated with up to 80% of asthma exacerbations. Investigating the role of influenza vaccination on asthma exacerbations using electronic health records (EHRs) is challenging due to lack of a computable phenotype for influenza vaccination. The purpose of this project was to develop an influenza vaccination computable phenotype, and evaluate its performance against manual chart review.
