mAPI: modified asthma predictive index
There was a difference between the number of decreases in the number of
attacks of the patients with negative and positive mAPI scores in the
1st control compared to the pre-treatment (p < 0.001). In
patients with negative mAPI score, the decrease in the number of attacks
in the 1st control was greater than those with positive mAPI scores
compared to the pre-treatment. That is, those with negative mAPI scores
appear to have a greater decrease in the number of attacks.
A difference was determined between the number of attacks before
treatment and the number of 1st control attacks in patients with EVW and
MTW. The number of attacks in the 1st control was significantly lower
than before treatment (Table 3). There was no difference between the
pre-treatment attack numbers of the patients with EVW and MTW
(p>0.05). A difference was determined between the number of
attacks in the 1st control of the patients with EVW and MTW (p
< 0.001). Patients with MTW had significantly more attacks in
the 1st control than patients with a median of EVW (Table 4).
