markers or methods to help predict exacerbations?

[Melanie]

I just read this article about a study done in which it found markers to help indicate the likelihood of a child having an exacerbation in the near future.
This is the first I’ve heard of anyone attempting to predict an exacerbation.
Has anyone heard of other markers or methods to predict an exacerbation (beyond the obvious and free of radiation i.e. scans) such that pro-active treatment can be implemented to prevent the exacerbation etc.?
Thanks

Melanie, I hadn’t heard of this before reading this study, and I’m not aware of any others like it. I do think it’s fascinating and would be curious to know what type of proactive treatment options might exist.
