NP + : presence of nasal polyps. NP - : absence of nasal polyps. BHR: bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Dashed lines represent the probability of asthma persistence calculated by the predic on model based on baseline characteris cs (NP and BHR). The con nuous line shows the clinically observed percentage of pa ents experiencing asthma remission in the cohort. The error bars represent standard error.
