Associations between mouse allergen reduction and FEF25–75 growth*

Lung function index Achieved reduction ↑in mL(95%CI) Did not achieve reduction ↑in mL(95%CI) Difference in estimated FEF25–75% growth (95%CI)** p-value of interaction term*** (reduction*time)
Reduction metric: ≥50% mean reduction from baseline
