Bt: Blomia tropicalis, Df: Dermatophagoides farinae, Dp: Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. Odds ratios (OR) were computed using logistic regression. Dependent variable was whether the asthma symptoms were well-controlled (symptoms manifested ≤2 days per week without any interference with normal activity; Y = 1) or totally-controlled (no asthma symptoms for the past 12 months; Y = 0). The independent variables were Bt, Df, Dp IgE levels and medications. Bt, Df and Dp IgE levels as binary variables were equal to 1 if patient was sensitized and 0 if otherwise. n = 102.
