A stepwise multivariate model was developed with the following variables: age, sex, body mass index, smoking, previous diagnosis of asthma, COPD, CAT scores, FEV1 (%), DLCO (%), YPAS score, 6MWD, exacerbations, ICS treatment, platelets, fibrinogen, CRP, emphysema (% fixed threshold), and airway wall area (for central and peripheral airways in %). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and asthma.
