A clinical prediction model to support asthma diagnosis in children and young people in UK primary care
Conclusion: Information from a patient’s electronic health records can support primary care clinicians to assess the likelihood of a child/young person having asthma. Before implementation, we will externally validate the prediction model, develop it into a user-friendly clinical decision support software, and test the feasibility of the system in clinical practice.

Residential Air Pollution and Associations with Wheeze and Shortness of Breath in Adults: A Combined Analysis of Cross-Sectional Data from Two Large European Cohorts
Conclusion: Exposure to PM and NO2 air pollution was associated with the prevalence of wheeze and shortness of breath in this large study, with stronger associations between PM2.5 and both outcomes among lower- versus higher-income participants. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1353 Received: 13 November 2016 Revised: 10 August 2017 Accepted: 14 August 2017 Published: 29 September 2017 Address correspondence to D.

Estimating the prevalence of aero-allergy and/or food allergy in infants, children and young people with moderate-to-severe atopic eczema/dermatitis in primary care: multi-centre, cross-sectional study
Conclusions Although atopic eczema/dermatitis is a very common diagnosis in children in primary care, most appear to be relatively mild and/or transient. Only a small proportion of children had evidence of ongoing underlying IgE-mediated atopic eczema/dermatitis.
