Longitudinal changes in sputum and blood inflammatory mediators during FeNO suppression testing

Abstract:

To explore whether exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) non-suppression identifies corticosteroid resistance, we analysed inflammatory mediator changes during a FeNO suppression test with monitored high-intensity corticosteroid therapy. In linear mixed-effects models analysed over time, the 15 clinically-distinct ‘suppressors’ (i.e. ≥42% FeNO suppression) normalised asthma control questionnaire scores (mean±SD: 2.8±1.4 to 1.4±0.9, p<0.0001) and sputum eosinophil counts (median [IQR]: 29 [6-41] to 1 [1...
