^*P<0.001, ^†P<0.01, ^**P<0.05, compared with poor responder.

^‡P<0.05, chi-squared test.

^§P<0.05, ^∥P<0.01, compared with fair responder.

^¶P<0.001, ^††P<0.05, ^‡‡P<0.01, compared with baseline.

Asthma activity was graded using one point for every 6% fall in FEV1 from the personal best value or every 10% fall of minimal to maximal peak expiratory flow (Min%Max PEF).
