Predictors of bronchodilator reversibility in children with asthma enrolled in SARP I-II

a. Predictors of 12% relative bronchodilator reversibility in all children with asthma (n=220)

Variables Odds ratio 95% CI p value

Exposure to second-hand smoke 2.81 1.23 to 6.43 0.014
Severe asthma 2.08 1.05 to 4.13 0.036
Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 % predicted 0.91 0.88 to 0.94 <0.001

b. Predictors of 12% relative bronchodilator reversibility in all children with asthma, including exhaled nitric oxide (n=200)

Variables Odds ratio 95% CI p value

Log FeNO* 1.97 1.35 to 2.87 0.0005
Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 % predicted 0.91 0.88 to 0.94 <0.001

c. Predictors of 12% relative bronchodilator reversibility in children with severe asthma, including exhaled nitric oxide (n=117)

Variables Odds ratio 95% CI p value

Log FeNO* 3.045 1.624 to 5.709 0.0005
Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 % predicted 0.91 0.87 to 0.95 <0.001
