The frequency of specific comorbidities (prevalence of at least 10%) and the odds ratios of their relationship with uncontrolled (blue) and partially controlled (grey) asthma. The size of the bubbles represents the ratio of uncontrolled asthma (of all patients who suffer from that specific comorbidity).
