Multivariable analysis relating adherence metrics to baseline clinical characteristics.
| Baseline measures (adjusted for age, sex, peripheral blood eosinophils and FEV1) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Adherence metric | Baseline measure | Coefficient [SE] | p value |
| Mean adherence (PTmean,cap) | AQLQ | 0·19 [0.20] | 0·36 |
| Entropy (H) | ACT | − 0·49 [0·17] | 0·008 |
| AQLQ | − 0·29 [0·15] | 0·065 | |
| Decreasing Entropy (Hdec) | ACT | − 0·51 [0·21] | 0·026 |
| AQLQ | − 0·35 [0·19] | 0·068 | |
| Reliever use, puffs per week | 0·60 [0·28] | 0·04 | |
Adherence metrics and baseline measures reported here are those which showed significant associations in univariate analyses.
