Factors associated with asthma control identified by multivariate analysis.
| OR * (95% CI) | p Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Smokers | 0.030 | |
| NS | 1 | |
| FS | 0.9 (0.3–2.6) | |
| CS | 0.3 (0.1–0.9) | |
| Presence of dyspnea | 0.1 (0.03–0.3) | <0.001 |
| Exacerbations | 0.2 (0.1–0.5) | <0.001 |
| FEV1 ≥ 80% of predicted | 1.1 (1.02–1.07) | <0.001 |
* Adjusted by age, gender, BMI, family asthma and atopy, personal allergy, lung function, anxiety and depression traits; NS: never-smokers; FS: former-smokers; CS: current-smokers; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in one second. Bold characters show the significant differences (p value < 0.05).
