Creation and validation of a citywide pediatric asthma registry for the District of Columbia
Conclusions: A population-level pediatric asthma registry captures more children and adolescents with asthma in DC then a BRFSS-derived estimate, and provides city-wide measures of asthma-related utilization. The registry allows for stratification by primary care practice locations and asthma characteristics, supporting the design, implementation, and evaluation of QI projects at the practice, health system, and population levels.PMID:33635727 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2021.1895213
