Title Mean Change From Baseline to Week 56 Asthma Symptoms Score for Patients With Baseline Eosinophils >=300/uL
Hide Description Asthma symptoms during night time and daytime are recorded by the patient each morning and evening in the asthma daily diary. Symptom score values are from 0 (No asthma symptom) to 3 (unable to sleep because of asthma). Baseline is defined as the average of data collected from the evening of study day -10 to the morning of study day 1. Each timepoint is calculated as bi-weekly means based on daily diary data. If more than 50% of scores are missing in a 14 day period then this is considered as missing. Symptom score lower is better.

Title Mean Work Productivity Loss Due to Asthma
Hide Description WPAI+CIQ (Work Productivity and Activity Impairment plus Classroom Impairment Questionnaire) contains 10 questions. Work productivity loss is derived by sum of percentage of missed work due to asthma and product of percentage of actual working hours times degree of asthma affecting work productivity while working. Percentage of missed work due to asthma is calculated by number of hours missed work due to asthma divided by total number of hours missed work plus number of hours actually worked. This is only applicable to patients who were employed.

Percentage of missed classes due to asthma is calculated by number of hours missed classes due to asthma divided by total number of hours missed classes plus number of hours actually attending classes. This is only applicable for patients who took classes.
