Characteristic of study subjects
| Characteristic of study subjects | N = 12 |
|---|---|
| Female sex − no. (%) | 4 (33.3) |
| Age − years | 38 [34.2;41.5] |
| Body weight - BMI | 25.8 [23.8;27.8] |
| FEV1 − % predicted value | 96.4 [88.8;103.9] |
| Methacholine PC20 − mg/ml | 1.3 [0.3;5.3] |
| IgE − IU/ml | 423.8 [79.0; 768.5] |
| Segmental allergen dose − SQE | 541.8 [237.2;846.3] |
Absolute and relative frequencies of women, mean of study subjects and corresponding 95%-confidence interval for all other baseline characteristics. Confidence interval for metacholine concentration is computed with logarithmic transformation; BMI: Body mass index, FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 second, Methacholine PC20:metacholine concentration to induce a 20% decrease in FEV1, IgE: total serum IgE (immunonglobulin E), SQE: standard quality unit.
