Notes:
Patients rated how difficult each activity was for them to perform and their responses were scored on a three-point scale: 1= much difficulty, 2= some difficulty, 3= no difficulty. If patients did not perform an activity (either for health reasons or by choice), the item received a score of 0.12
Number of patients with completed FPI-SF who were classified by current treatment regimen.
Other treatments included, but were not limited to: ICS, short-acting bronchodilators in combination with other treatments, and phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors or oral corticosteroids alone or in combination with other treatments.
