Relationships between salivary inflammatory marker principal components and measures of asthma control among children with asthma^*.

Abstract

<p>*regression models include all three PC scores; relationships were modeled using logistic regression;</p><p><b>Bolded results</b> are statistically significant at p<0.05; PC = principal component; crude models: n = 56.</p><p>adjusted for controller medication, frequency of dental checkups, and report of gums bleeding with tooth brushing, n = 49.</p><p>Principal Component 1 reflects relative similar representation of all markers with slightly greater weight to innate/myeloid markers.</p><p>Principal Component 2 reflects greater representation of eosinophil/lymphoid markers relative to innate markers.</p><p>Principal Component 3 predominantly reflects IP-10/CXCL10.</p
