FEV1pp at Follow-up
For patients given a steroid during hospitalization, follow-up FEV1pp was 4.152 percentage points higher when compared to patients who were not given a steroid (fully-adjusted β=4.152, 95% CI: -1.203, 9.506, p-value=0.129; Table 3). Follow-up FEV1pp was an estimated 79.8 percentage points (SE=1.79) for encounters in which patients were given a steroid and was an estimated 75.7 percentage points (SE=2.08) for encounters in which patients were not given a steroid. This was not statically significant.
