  1. Data are expressed as mean (SD)
  2. CVA cough variant asthma, CA classic asthma, FEV1 forced expiratory volume in one second, FVC forced vital capacity, PEF peak expiratory flow, MMEF maximal mid-expiratory flow, MEF25% maximum forced expiratory flow at 25% FVC, MEF50% maximum forced expiratory flow at 50% FVC
