Relationship between change in RSDI and change in rhinitis-specific health outcomes

Change in RSDI as a predictor of change in health outcome

Unadjusted model Adjusted model


Dependent variable Mean change ± SD β ± SE p value β ± SE p value
Restricted activity (days per month) 2.4 ± 7.3 2.48 ± 0.84 <0.01 2.48 ± 0.98 0.01
Job effectiveness* (% effectiveness) -2.4 ± 12.8 -4.78 ± 2.03 0.02 -4.27 ± 1.95 0.03

Effect estimates are reported per 1.0 SRM change in the RSDI score. Adjusted model includes baseline symptom severity (RSS-4), physical functioning (SF-12 PCS), psychological distress (CES-D), and perceived control of disease (PCRQ). * Data not available for 24 subjects (9 unemployed, 11 house keeping, 2 attending school, 1 retired, 1 other).
