Popis: Abstract Introduction In methacholine challenge testing (MCT), skipping a methacholine dose is suggested if FEV1 falls by 1 nebulized salbutamol dose (2.5 mg) to reach basal FEV1, palpitations; severe: hypoxemia and/or need for medical attention or intervention] were compared in the skip5–10% group and others. Regression analysis was used to identify predictors of AE. Results 208 MCTs were analysed (135 males, age 52 ± 15 years). Skip5–10% occurred 111 times in 90 tests. Prevalence of AE was 5% and all were mild. Patients who developed AEs had lower FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC ratio, and higher lung volume values (all p
