Table 5.

Correlation of the Rhinasthma-28 with other health status measures.

	All subjects (n=545)	Asthma + Rhinitis (n=450)	Asthma only (n=75)	Rhinitis only (n=20)
SF-12 PCS	−0.56	−0.54	−0.67	−0.45
EQ-5D utility index	−0.52	−0.51	−0.60	−0.41^†
Marks Asthma QoL	0.78^*	0.77	0.93	NA
Severity of Asthma Score	0.50^*	0.52	0.52	NA

excluding 20 subjects with rhinitis only

^†

p=0.07; all others p values <0.05.

Spearman correlation coefficients reported.

Higher scores for SF-12 and EQ-5D represent better health status.

Higher scores for RhinAsthma-28, Mark’s Asthma Quality of Life, and Severity-of-Asthma Score represent worse health status.
