Impact of obesity and lung function on the efficacy of biological treatment in patients with asthma

MethodsStudy data included asthma severity (following GINA guidelines) (1) and control (assessed using the Asthma Control Test) (2).Adherence to treatment was measured with the Test of Adherence to Inhalers (TAI) (3).Table 1 specifies the patient's controller therapy.Table 2 specifies the nonsignificant comorbidities between both groups.The 2012 Global Lung Initiative reference equations (4) were used to generate predicted values and Z-scores for FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC ratio.
