<i>ICSâ=â Inhaled corticosteroid; LTRAâ=âleukotriene receptors antagonists; LABA/ICSâ=â fixed dose long-acting β2 -agonist and inhaled corticosteroids combination; LABA+ICSâ=â concurrent long-acting β2 -agonist and inhaled corticosteroids separate inhaler; SCSIMD â=â Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation; SABAâ=â Short-acting β2âagonist; OCSâ=â Oral corticosteroids.</i></p
Box plot for the distribution of Medication Possession Ratio of prescribed asthma controller medications.
<p>Whiskers represent the extreme values, and boxes represent the 75th quartile, median, and 25th quartile. Outliers were excluded from the analysis. MPRâ=â Medication possession ratio; ICSâ=âInhaled corticosteroid; LTRAâ=âleukotriene receptors antagonists; LABA/ICSâ=âfixed dose long-acting β2-agonist and inhaled corticosteroids combination; LABA+ICSâ=â concurrent long-acting β2-agonist and inhaled corticosteroids separate inhaler.</p
Adequate MPR for asthma controller medications by deprivation index, age and gender.
