Childhood asthma in 2015: The fuss and the future
2015, Paediatric Respiratory ReviewsLimitations of asthma control questionnaires in the management and follow up of childhood asthma
2013, Paediatric Respiratory ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Thus exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) does not correlate well with lung function measurements but does show some agreement with reported symptoms in atopic children.27 Like asthma questionnaires FeNO measurement adds to the evaluation of some children with asthma28 but is probably not routinely useful or applicable to all children.29,30 Asthma Control Test scores are also not helpful in determining exercise induced bronchospasm (EIB).
Childhood asthma management guided by repeated FeNO measurements: A meta-analysis
2012, Paediatric Respiratory ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Recent clinical studies have, however, questioned the usefulness of FeNO in the diagnosis and management of asthma. The correlation between FeNO and markers of eosinophilic airway inflammation has been difficult to demonstrate.1–4 Moreover, FeNO values have been elevated only in subjects with atopic asthma6,7 and positively and strongly correlated with number of sensitizations in non-asthmatic children.8–13
Biomarkers in asthma and allergic rhinitis
2010, Pulmonary Pharmacology and TherapeuticsCitation Excerpt :Nevertheless, measurements of (at least some) airway inflammatory markers can aid diagnosis, monitoring and/or management of asthma, even if it is yet unclear which inflammation marker is most useful. Despite the aforementioned limitations, repeated FeNO measurements in individual patients may offer valuable information in specialized settings [228]. EBC and electronic nose are promising non-invasive airway sampling techniques awaiting further evaluation and validation in children.
