Fig 1 Reduction of FENO values during rehabilitation in patients from subgroups with different asthma severity scores (grades I-IV). The effect in the grade I subgroup is significantly more pronounced than that in the grade IV subgroup (P < .05). Geometric mean of relative change with 95% CI is shown.

Fig 2 Reduction of FENO values in asthmatic subjects during rehabilitation both in children with isolated sensitization to HDM (n = 38, −47.2%) and in all other children included in the study (sensitized to other allergens or with intrinsic asthma; n = 273, −51.7%). FENO values in both groups were significantly lower at discharge than at baseline (P < .001) but did not differ between the groups. Geometric mean of relative change with 95% CI is shown.
