Fig. 2From: Effect of adjusting the combination of budesonide/formoterol on the alleviation of asthma symptomsRelationship between types of asthma symptoms and time to recovery from asthma symptoms when BFC dose was increased (a). Relationship between number of asthma symptoms and time to recovery from asthma symptoms when BFC dose was increased (b). In A, the time to recovery from asthma symptoms was significantly shorter when patients increased the BFC dose in the presence of cough alone compared when they did so in the presence of dyspnea (p < 0.05) or wheeze (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between dyspnea and wheeze. In B, the time to recovery from asthma symptoms was significantly shorter when patients increased the BFC dose in the presence of only one symptom compared with two (p < 0.01) or three (p < 0.001) symptoms. There was no significant difference in time to recovery between two and three symptomsBack to article page
