Data are presented as n or least squares mean (95% CI). Inference between salmeterol and placebo was part of a post hoc analysis. Least squares means were adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, reversibility stratum, overnight site stratum, concurrent inhaled corticosteroid use, baseline and treatment. #: not significant; *: p<0.05; **: p<0.01; ***: p<0.001.
