INTRODUCTION: In methacholine challenge testing (MCT), skipping a methacholine dose is suggested if FEV(1) falls by < 5%. Using a larger threshold may further shorten test duration, but data supporting this hypothesis is lacking. We evaluated the safety and consequences of using a 10% FEV(1) fall...
