DLQI regression results

Angioedema Classification Within Group Contrast in LS Mean
n LS Mean SE Comparison LS Mean SE 95% CI P value
Primary analysis: ANCOVA for DLQI total score by angioedema classification (assigning Misaligned category to Yes‐angioedema category)
No‐angioedema 150 7.27 0.850 vs Yes −2.61 0.558 −3.71 to −1.51 <.0001
Yes‐angioedema 399 9.88 0.722
Sensitivity analysis: ANCOVA for DLQI total score by angioedema classification (removing the Misaligned category)
No‐angioedema 150 6.73 0.902 vs Yes −2.96 0.586 −4.12 to −1.81 <.0001
Yes‐angioedema 232 9.69 0.795

LS means, 95% CIs and P values are from an ANCOVA model with covariates: angioedema classification, UAS7TD score (continuous), age at enrolment (continuous), sex (male and female), country (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and the UK), disease duration from diagnosis to enrolment (continuous) and comorbidities at enrolment (hypersensitivity to NSAIDs [yes/no], Hashimoto's [yes/no] and asthma [yes/no]). ANCOVA, analysis of covariance; CI, confidence interval; DLQI, Dermatology Life Quality Index; LS, least squares; n, number of subjects with data for all model inputs; NSAIDs, nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs; SE, standard error; UAS7TD, Urticaria Activity Score over 7 days, twice‐daily assessment.
