Figure 2 Changes from baseline FEV1 (A) and change from baseline FVC (B) in patients treated with mepolizumab or placebo by number of exacerbations. BD, Bronchodilator. Error bars represent 95% CIs. Difference between groups for changes in FEV1 was statistically significant (P = .040); nonstatistical significant difference between groups for changes in FVC (P = .116).
