Clinically significant exacerbation is defined as worsening of asthma which requires use of systemic corticosteroids and/or hospitalizations and/or Emergency Department (ED) visits. Analysis of the number of exacerbations was performed using a negative binomial model with covariates of treatment group, baseline maintenance Oral Corticosteroids (OCS) therapy (OCS vs. no OCS), region, exacerbations in the year prior to the study (as an ordinal variable) and baseline % predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1), and with logarithm of time on treatment as an offset variable.
