1 Impact of Asthma Exacerbations and Asthma Triggers on Asthma-related Quality of Life in Patients with Severe or Difficult-to-Treat Asthma  Allan T. Luskin, MD, Bradley E. Chipps, MD, Lawrence Rasouliyan, MPH, Dave P. Miller, MS, Tmirah Haselkorn, PhD, Alejandro Dorenbaum, MD  The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice  Volume 2, Issue 5, Pages e2 (September 2014) DOI: /j.jaip Copyright © 2014 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Increases in asthma exacerbation severity (A) and the number of exacerbations within the first year of follow-up (B) were associated with lower Mini-AQLQ domain scores at month 12. The total number of asthma exacerbations was based on HCU data collected at month 6 and month 12; 15 patients were excluded due to missing HCU data at month 12, with the remaining 2679 being included in the analysis. P values derived from 1-way ANOVA for differences in QoL scores within each Mini-AQLQ domain †(A) across asthma exacerbation severity categories or ∗(B) across the total number of asthma exacerbation.

3 Figure 2 Association between baseline number of asthma triggers (symptoms from exposure to emotional stress, cold and/or sinus infection, pollen, animals, mold and/or dampness, or dust) and Mini-AQLQ domain scores at month 12. †Derived from 1-way ANOVA for differences in QoL scores within each Mini-AQLQ domain across the number of asthma triggers categories.

4 Figure 3 Asthma exacerbation severity (A) and the number of exacerbations within the first year of follow-up (B) were associated with baseline number of asthma triggers (symptoms from exposure to emotional stress, cold and/or sinus infection, pollen, animals, mold and/or dampness, or dust). Asthma exacerbation severity and total number of asthma exacerbations were based on HCU data collected at month 6 and month 12; 15 patients were excluded due to missing HCU data at month 12; therefore, 2679 patients were included in this analysis. P < .001 for overall difference in the number of asthma triggers by asthma exacerbation severity or the total number of asthma exacerbations categories.

7 Figure E3 The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Statement diagram for patient disposition. When analyzing the association between asthma severity and asthma-related QoL, baseline and month 6 HCU data were used, with 2694 patients included in the analysis. When analyzing the association between the total number of asthma exacerbations and asthma-related QoL, HCU data at month 6 and month 12 were used, with 2679 patients included in the analysis (15 patients had missing HCU data at month 12).
