Effects of DNA measures on the rate of exacerbations by eosinophil count^†

	Eosinophil count < 300 n = 1,618 − 28*	Eosinophil count ≥ 300 n = 423-6*
cf-mtDNA copy number (natural log)	1.02 (0.25)	1.09 (0.007)
cf-nDNA copy number (natural log)	1.02 (0.60)	1.07 (0.21)

Definition of abbreviations: cf-mtDNA = cell-free mitochondrial DNA; cf-nDNA = cell-free nuclear DNA

^†Cells represent the ratio of the mean (P value) from a gamma regression. All analyses are adjusted for age, body mass index, and sex. *values are different depending on DNA measure
