Percentage of Increase for Parameter FEV1 after the Bronchodilator Test with Salbutamol and Ipratropium Bromide and PC20FEV1 after Methacholine Challenge Testing
| Salbutamol % of Increase FEV1 | Ipratropium % of Increase FEV1 | PC20FEV1 mg/mL | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean | 18.39 | 19.14 | 0.645 |
| SD | 6.18 | 6.74 | 0.540 |
| Minimum | 12.40 | 12.10 | 0.026 |
| Maximum | 35.60 | 37.20 | 1.914 |
