  1. Data are presented as mean (95% confidence interval)
  2. Model 1: Adjusted for baseline age, baseline body mass index and smoking status during the study period; Model 2: Further adjusted for at least 2 exacerbations per a year during study period; Model 3: Further adjusted for use of ICS/LABA or ICS during the study period
  3. Abbreviations: ACO asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap, COPD chronic obstructive lung disease, ICS inhaled corticosteroids, LABA long-acting β2-agonists
  4. *P value for homogeneity of annual change by group
