In each model, the standard errors are adjusted for clustering by practice and for baseline value of outcome, BTS Step (3,4 or 5 vs. 1 or 2), number of GP partners, practice asthma admission rate, per cent of practice list that is south Asian and number of south Asians on practice list. SD is standard deviation
