- Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) value \<80% predicted or any clinical features of moderate or severe persistent asthma baseline severity (as defined by the 2007 NHLBI Guidelines) and greater than high daily doses of inhaled corticosteroids (\>500mcg of Fluticasone or equivalent)
- Use of steroid medications in the following manners: history of daily oral steroid dosing for \>1 month during the past year, or burst or steroid course in the past 3 months, or \>1 burst oral steroid course in the past year or use of oral or parenteral steroids for a non-asthma indication within the past 30 days
- Asthma requiring \>1 hospitalization in the past year for asthma or \>1 Emergency Department (ED) visit in the past 6 months for asthma
- Any previous intubation/mechanical ventilation due to allergies or asthma
- Use of omalizumab or other non-traditional forms of allergen immunotherapy or immunomodulatory or biologic therapy in the past year
- Use of beta-adrenergic blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin-receptor blockers, or calcium channel blockers in the past 30 days
