Percentage Rbm fragmentation.

Notes: Rbm fragmentation as a percentage of total Rbm length before and after ICS versus before and after placebo, with normal control data for comparison. Post-treatment, the active treatment arm had statistically significantly less splitting than the placebo group (P<0.02). After treatment, fragmentation was normalized compared to normal controls (P=0.4). Data are represented as medians and ranges.

Abbreviations: ICS, inhaled corticosteroids; Rbm, reticular basement membrane.
