BACKGROUND: Fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (Feno) and blood eosinophil count (B-Eos) values, markers of local and systemic eosinophilic inflammation, respectively, are increased in asthmatic patients. Little is known about the relation of these markers to reported wheeze and asthma events in a random population sample. OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine the individual and independent values of B-Eos and Feno ...
BACKGROUND: The values obtained when the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is measured are affected by several factors that are specific to the individual patient, making interpretation difficult, especially in the initial assessment of patients with respiratory symptoms. METHODS: Systematic review of studies on FeNO reference values and individual-specific factors that influence them. RESULTS: From 3739 ...
