Manual chart examination is expensive and require another level of IRB, as one would obviously not be dealing with de-id records. It is possible, but would require funds for the reviewers. If you want sensitivity and specificity, you might simply compare with the problem list (as opposed to the billing codes). That would be cheap and scalable.
In the original project, we looked at a cohort that was enriched in but not exclusively composed of asthma patients. This type of cohort would be good to have for a larger project.
