The sentences
Partially controlled asthma, BMI, previous smoking and number of drugs in use (other indications than asthma/allergy) were not associated with poorer 15D score, even though the two latter had borderline significance (Table 3 ).
The difference between partially controlled and controlled asthma (>0.034) exceeded the clinically important difference by a factor of 2.3, although in the adjusted analysis, the association with HRQoL did not reach statistical significance.
