Table 4. CLE treatment response.

Presented as median change in CLASI activity score (interquartile range). Negative change reflects improvement, positive change reflects worsening.

⁺

Group 1 (AM-only): Current smokers improved more over time than never and past smokers.

⁺

Group 2 (AM + IM): Never smokers improved more over time.

⁺⁺

Score A: Change in CLASI activity between visit 2 and visit 1.

⁺⁺

Score B: Change in CLASI activity between visit 3 and visit 1.
