Conceptual Model of Asthma Severity. This model was generated in advance of any analyses based on observations derived from the medical literature and became the test object of this study. Oval boxes indicate domains defined by multiple observed variables, while rectangles indicate domains defined by one observed variable only. An arrow connecting two domains represents the direction of the hypothesized relationship between the two domains.
