Abstract

BACKGROUND: Night-time wakening with asthma symptoms is an important indicator of disease control and severity, with no gold-standard objective measurement.
OBJECTIVE: The study objective was to use fitness tracker sleep data to develop predictive models of daily disease control-related asthma-specific wakening and FEV in working-aged women with poorly controlled asthma.
METHODS: A repeated measures panel design included data from 43 women with poorly controlled asthma. Two components of asthma control were the primary outcomes, measured daily as (1) self-reported asthma-specific wakening and (2) self-administered spirometry to measure FEV. Data were analyzed using generalized linear mixed models.
RESULTS: Our models demonstrated predictive value (AUC=0.77) for asthma-specific night-time wakening and good predictive value (AUC=0.83) for daily FEV CONCLUSIONS: Fitness tracker sleep efficiency and wake counts demonstrate clinical utility as predictive of asthma-specific night-time wakening and daily FEV Fitness tracker sleep data demonstrated predictive capability for daily asthma outcomes.
