Asthma exacerbations, asthma–related hospitalizations/emergency department visit or oral corticosteroids use. SABA, short-acting β2-agonists; ICS, inhaled corticosteroids; LABA, long-acting β2-agonists; LTRA, leukotriene receptor antagonists. Odds Ratio (ORs) and corresponding 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) were reported, adjusted for age and sex. N/A, Not applicable.
