Marginal Cox Regression Models Predicting Isolated-Asthma, Isolated-COPD, and Asthma/COPD Overlap

Variable Asthma/COPD Overlap vs Isolated-Asthma
Asthma/COPD Overlap vs Isolated-COPD
HR 95% CI P Value HR 95% CI P Value
Eosinophils ≥ 300 cells/μLa 2.00 1.11-3.62 .02 1.60 0.89-2.85 .12
Accelerated FEV1 decline 1.02 0.60-1.74 .94 0.99 0.60-1.65 .98

The total N value was 2,124 due to missing covariates. Data were adjusted for age, race, BMI, and first post-9/11 FEV1/FVC measurement. See Table 1 and 3 legends for expansion of abbreviations.
