  1. The CCQ score change has been studied as a continuous variable and the strength of the association occurs through the beta coefficients obtained by linear regression. BMI, exacerbations previous year FEV1 (%) and CAT and CCQ at inclusion were continuous variables.
  2. B Beta coefficient, CI confidence interval, RC Reference category.
