ROC curves for the models of FEFs combined with FENO for predicting positive bronchial provocation tests in chronic cough patients. (A) MEF50 combined with FENO. AUCModel = 0.782 (95% CI, 0.745 to 0.816); AUCFENO = 0.603 (95% CI, 0.560 to 0.644; p < 0.001, compared with the model); AUCMEF50 = 0.738 (95% CI, 0.699 to 0.775; p < 0.001, compared with the model) (B) MMEF combined with FENO. AUCModel = 0.767 (95% CI, 0.730 to 0.802); AUCFENO =0.603 (95% CI, 0.560 to 0.644; p < 0.001, compared with the model); AUCMMEF = 0.716 (95% CI, 0.677 to 0.754; p < 0.001, compared with the model). Abbreviations: ROC, receiver operating characteristic; FENO, fractional exhaled nitric oxide; AUC, area under the curve; MEF50: forced expiratory flow at 50% of forced vital capacity; MEF25: forced expiratory flow at 75% of forced vital capacity; MMEF: maximum mid-expiratory flow
