Fig. 1From: Oral corticosteroid dose changes and impact on peripheral blood eosinophil counts in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma: a post hoc analysisLinear regression of relationship between change in OCS dose and change in blood eosinophil count. Changes in OCS dose and blood eosinophil counts were measured from the beginning to the end of the optimization phase. A ratio greater than 1 reflects an increase, less than 1 reflects a decrease and 1 reflects no change. Solid and dashed blue lines indicate the mean and 95% confidence intervals of this relationship, respectively. The black horizontal line represents no change in blood eosinophil count. Circles represent individual patient values. OCS, oral corticosteroidBack to article page
