  1. Quantitative variables are described with the median and interquartile range “()”
  2. *Differences between the groups’ characteristics were tested using Kruskal–Wallis test for continuous variables and a X-squared test for count variables. “Pre” refers to spirometry tests before bronchodilator use. Denominators used for the percentages correspond to the total number of individuals in each group
