Summary Paediatric asthma represents a significant public health problem. To date, clinical data sets have typically been examined using traditional data analysis techniques. While such traditional statistical methods are invariably widespread, large volumes of data may overwhelm such approaches. The new generation of knowledge discovery techniques may therefore be a more appropriate means of analysis. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate an asthma data set, with the application of various data mining techniques for knowledge discovery. The current study utilises data from an asthma data set (n ≈ 17000). The findings revealed a number of factors and patterns of interest.
