“…The comprehensiveness of variable reporting was the best quality indicator, while reproducibility measures were often lacking.Conclusion: Variations in phenotyping methods, study settings, participant profiles, and variables contribute to significant differences in characterizing asthma, severe asthma, COPD, ACO, and rhinitis phenotypes across studies. Lack of reproducibility measures limits the evaluation of computational phenotyping in airway diseases, underscoring the need for consistent approaches to defining outcomes and selecting variables to ensure reliable phenotyping.Keywords: asthma, COPD, severe asthma, rhinitis, unsupervised, phenotyping…”
