Text: Correlation coefficients for the relation between FEV (1) % predicted and AUC (0-8) values for beclometasone, budesonide, fluticasone and mometasone were 0. 37 (P = 0. 05), 0. 33 (P = 0. 08), 0. 25 (P = 0. 2) and 0. 52 (P = 0. 004), respectively, and estimated AUC (0-8) values were 1. 3 [95 % confidence interval (CI) 1. 0, 1. 8], 1. 3 (95 % CI 1. 0, 1. 8), 1. 4 (95 % CI 0. 9, 2. 2) and 2. 2 (95 % CI 1. 3, 3. 5) times higher for the four drugs, respectively, at 100 compared with 50 % predicted FEV (1.)
