  1. Weighted prevalence (%) with 95% confidence interval (95%-CI), unweighted count (n). Unknown or missing responses excluded from the analyses. % (n) of missing values for outcome study variable are as follows: any asthma-related hospitalization/emergency department admission in the past year 0.1% (n = 2) missing values. % (n) of missing values for primary independent study variables are as follows: current AR 1.1% (n = 15), current GERS 0.3% (n = 6), and AERD 1.2% (n = 12). Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); acetylsalicylic acid exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD).
