Although 73.7% of all asthma patients who died belonged to the 4th suPAR quartile at 365 days follow-up (Table 2), there was no statistically significant association between suPAR quartiles and mortality after adjusting for sex, age, Charlson comorbidity score, CRP, and blood eosinophil count (Table 2). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and asthma.
