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.
