Note:

*

Predicted rate can be calculated using the following formula: Predicted rate = e(intercept + value predictor1 * coefficient predictor1 + value predictor2 * coefficient predictor2 + ….).

Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 second; ICS, inhaled corticosteroid; SGRQ, St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire.
