Sex (female/male) | 15/4 |
Age (years) | 38 (7), (24–49) |
FEV1 (l) | 2.88 (0.66), (1.74–3.98) |
FEV1 (% predicted) | 88.4 (16.1), (63–111) |
PC20 methacholine (mg/ml) | 0.62 (0.06–4.30) |

Values are presented as absolute numbers or as mean (SD), (range) except PC20, PD30+, and steroid dose where a median (range) is given.
FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second; PC20 = provocative concentration of methacholine causing a decrease in FEV1 of 20%; PD30+ = provocative dose of methacholine causing decrease in FEV1 of ⩾30%.
