Pearson’s correlation of sputum T2 gene mean expression with (A) FeNO, (B) peripheral blood eosinophil %, (C) sputum eosinophil % (log-transformed), (D) total IgE (log-transformed), (E) number of positive serum-specific IgE tests, (F) absolute change in FEV1 after maximal bronchodilation, (G) baseline FEV1/FVC % predicted, and (H) maximum FEV1/FVC % predicted after bronchodilation. FeNO, fraction of exhaled nitric oxide; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FVC, forced vital capacity; IgE, immunoglobulin E; T2, type 2.
