Comparison of AUCs of symptoms scores between episodes that received and did not receive OCSs (MIST cohort)

Outcome	Episode severity level*	No.	Episodes that were not treated with OCSs (n = 585)	Episodes that were treated with OCSs (n = 161)	Pvalue
AUC total symptoms score	Less severe episodes	613	4.4 (0.18)	4.8 (0.24)	.18
	More severe episodes	133	4.6 (0.36)	4.9 (0.34)	.46
AUC cough score	Less severe episodes	613	3.0 (0.11)	3.2 (0.17)	.26
	More severe episodes	133	3.1 (0.22)	3.2 (0.22)	.83
AUC wheeze score	Less severe episodes	613	1.5 (0.11)	1.8 (0.14)	.01
	More severe episodes	133	1.6 (0.23)	2.1 (0.20)	.05
AUC trouble breathing score	Less severe episodes	613	1.7 (0.11)	1.9 (0.13)	.25
	More severe episodes	133	1.9 (0.22)	2.0 (0.19)	.76
AUC interference with activity score	Less severe episodes	613	1.6 (0.11)	1.8 (0.14)	.36
	More severe episodes	133	1.5 (0.21)	1.6 (0.20)	.53

Data are stratified based on the episode’s severity: less severe episodes (n = 613) and more severe episodes (n = 133). The square root transformation was applied to all AUCs to improve the approximate normality of the AUC measurements. Data are represented as means (SEs) of the square root of AUCs. All comparisons were adjusted for maximum propensity score (natural log) along with correlation among repeated measurements.

^*Episode severity was defined based on a propensity score of greater than or less than 0.2.
