🌬️ AIRQ™ Calculator Asthma Control
Asthma Impairment & Risk Questionnaire — quantifies symptom burden + future exacerbation risk
📋 Impairment domain (past 2 weeks)
Symptoms, nocturnal awakenings, rescue use, activity, morning symptoms & exertional dyspnea
1 Asthma symptoms (wheeze, chest tightness, SOB) on more than 2 days?
2 Woken up at night due to asthma on 1 or more nights?
3 Used rescue inhaler (SABA) on more than 2 days?
4 Any activity limitation (exercise, daily tasks) due to asthma?
5 Asthma symptoms immediately upon waking (morning symptoms)?
6 Shortness of breath on exertion (walking fast, climbing stairs) due to asthma?
⚠️ Risk domain (past 12 months)
Exacerbations, emergency care, hospitalizations, ICU — each “yes” increases risk burden
7 Required oral corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone burst) for asthma?
8 Visited an Emergency Department (ER) due to asthma?
9 Been hospitalized overnight (or longer) due to asthma?
10 Been admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) due to asthma?
⚡ Each ‘yes’ in risk section = 1 point, indicates higher exacerbation risk

📊 Asthma Control Level
Well-controlled (0-1)
✔ Low symptom burden + minimal risk. Maintain controller therapy.
*AIRQ includes 6 impairment items (past 2 weeks) + 4 risk items (past 12 months). Each “yes” = 1 point. Score 0-1: well-controlled; 2-4: not well-controlled; ≥5: very poorly controlled.
