Table 3 Values for the 95% probability interval for % fall in FEV1 and AUC, highest % fall in FEV1, the associated AUC, mean % fall FEV1 and the SD of the difference between two tests shown for Groups and for different NAEPP values.

From: Reproducibility of the airway response to an exercise protocol standardized for intensity, duration, and inspired air conditions, in subjects with symptoms suggestive of asthma
