Association between maximum absolute blood eosinophil count and ICU admission or death in the patients with asthma. The model was adjusted for sex, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic deprivation, obesity, atopy, cardiac disease, diabetes, cerebrovascular accident, chronic renal failure, dementia, and cancer. The solid black line represents the adjusted hazard ratio for the outcome (ICU admission or death) for the continuous variable of maximum absolute blood eosinophil count. The dashed black lines represent the 95% confidence interval of the hazard ratio.
