چکیده
Upper respiratory symptoms .21 Yes (n 1⁄4 156) 36 (20-56) Fractional excretion of nitric oxide is associated with acute pediatric asthma exacerbation severity as measured by % predicted FEV1 and is greater in African American patients in comparison with white pediatric patients during exacerbations. Knowledge of these associations might inform the use of fractional excretion of nitric oxide before and during acute asthma exacerbations in children. No (n 1⁄4 280) 41 (21-68)

Fractional exhaled nitric oxide in children with acute exacerbation of asthma.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) has a utility as a diagnostic or predictive maker in acute exacerbations of asthma in children. DESIGN Analysis of data collected in a pediatric asthma cohort. SETTING Pediatric Chest Clinic of a tertiary care hospital. METHODS A cohort of children with asthma was followed up every 3 months in addition to any acute exac...
متن کاملPredicting changes in clinical status of young asthmatics: clinical scores or objective parameters?
Preventing asthma exacerbation is an important goal of asthma management. The existing clinical tools are not good in predicting asthma exacerbations in young children. Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) was recently published to be a simple tool for assessing disease control in young children. This study investigated C-ACT and other disease-related factors for indicating longitudinal change...
متن کاملMeasurements of fractional exhaled nitric oxide in pediatric asthma
Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) has been extensively investigated as a noninvasive marker of airway inflammation in asthma. The increased NO expression induced by inflammatory mediators in airways can be monitored easily in exhaled air from asthmatic children. Based on the relationship between the increased NO expression and eosinophilic airway inflammation, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) mea...
متن کاملPrediction of Asthma Exacerbations in Children by Innovative Exhaled Inflammatory Markers: Results of a Longitudinal Study
BACKGROUND In asthma management guidelines the primary goal of treatment is asthma control. To date, asthma control, guided by symptoms and lung function, is not optimal in many children and adults. Direct monitoring of airway inflammation in exhaled breath may improve asthma control and reduce the number of exacerbations. AIM 1) To study the use of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and ...
متن کاملNasal nitric oxide is a marker of poor asthma control.
Asthma control, evaluated by symptoms, exacerbations rate and lung function may be greatly influenced by comorbidities, particularly chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Measurement of nasal nitric oxide (nNO) is a simple way to assess the severity of CRS. We aimed to analyze the relationship between asthma control and nasal NO. All patients with moderate-to-severe asthma on regular follow-up at our O...
