Figure 1 The consort diagram and study design. Consort diagram depicts the administrative logistics used to identify the SUA cohort in phase I and the patients with SUA who participated in phase II with a blood eosinophil determination among the 207,814 KPSC members with a diagnosis of asthma in HEDIS, Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set; ICD-9, International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision. *Comorbidities are listed in the Appendix, available in this article's Online Repository at The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice 2017 5, e8DOI: ( /j.jaip ) Copyright © 2016 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions

Figure 2 Adjusted rate ratio and risk ratio (95% CI) for asthma exacerbations for each covariate in the regression models in severe uncontrolled asthma (SUA) for the blood eosinophil cutoff point of ≥400 cells/mm3 versus <400 cells/mm3 (panel A: asthma exacerbation rate; panel B: ≥1 asthma exacerbation; panel C: ≥2 asthma exacerbations; panel D: ≥1 asthma emergency department [ED] visit or hospitalization). Poisson regression models with robust error variance were used to estimate the adjusted rate and risk ratios and their 95% CIs.
