  1. CI Confidence interval; FEV1 forced expiratory volume in one second; FVC forced vital capacity; MMEF maximum mid-expiratory flow; PEF peak expiratory flow; FEF25 forced expiratory flow after 25% of FVC has been exhaled; FEF50 forced expiratory flow after 50% of FVC has been exhaled; FEF75 forced expiratory flow after 75% of FVC has been exhaled
