Multiple comparisons between the four types of monoclonal antibodies.
| Characteristics | p-value Omalizumab vs Mepolizumab | p-value Omalizumab vs Reslizumab | p-value Omalizumab vs Benralizumab | p-value Mepolizumab vs Reslizumab | p-value Mepolizumab vs Benralizumab | p-value Reslizumab vs Benralizumab |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline exacerbations/year | 0.011 | 0.251 | 0.019 | 0.185 | 0.493 | 0.138 |
| Baseline hospital admissions/year | 0.000 | 0.357 | 0.188 | 0.002 | 0.076 | 0.467 |
| Level of eosinophils after 12 months | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.031 | 0.006 | 0.210 |
These comparisons were only performed for variables with a p-value ≤0.05. All possible pairwise comparisons (n = 6) were performed using the Mann–Whitney U test.
