Fig. 1 Least-square mean change from baseline in asthma-related QOL scores, as determined by using the Juniper AQLQ,17 during treatment with omalizumab or placebo in patients with severe allergic asthma. An increase in score of 0.5 points or greater from baseline indicates a clinically significant improvement.18 *P < .05, **P <.01, and ***P < .001 versus placebo.
