Grammar

Please break this down for me.

Hi,

Would you please break down the underlined part? It is too confuisng to me.

This is from an internal document and there could be some mistakes in the sentecen in term of Enlish.

Screenshot of a Tsi Efficacy screen showing PFH significantly improved lung function in children vs. placebo as measured by mean change from baseline in percent predicted FEV0.

Even your guess would be appreciated.

Thank you,

The grammar seems OK to me. (I don't know what 'FEVO' is, though.)

as measured by mean change from baseline in percent predicted FEV0. = using the measurement of the % of predicted FEVO for the average change from the baseline (the normal? the standard? the beginning measurement?)

Thank you for the reply,

I thought I could figure out the whole picture if I understood the underlined par, but it seems I was wrong. I am afraid, would you tell me the sentence says "what vs what"?

also, although I don't know what FEV0 either, will you rephrase the "predicted" for me? Since it doesn't say, "predicted by" I'm not sure how I should read it.

Thanki you,

TSI is probably Thromboxane Sythetase Inhibitor, a drug used to affect the circulatory system.

PFH may be pleomorphic fibrous histiocytoma, a lung disease.
