Abstract

Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) has been proposed as a non-invasive measure of airway inflammation in asthma. However, its accuracy for the diagnosis of asthma in different populations is not completely clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of FeNO measurement for the diagnosis of asthma through a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies. A systematic search current to July 2014 was performed in Pubmed, EMBASE, Medline, the Cochrane databases, CNKI, Wanfang and Weipu to find relevant studies. All prospective studies on the use of FeNO for the diagnosis of asthma were included. Twenty-five studies including 3983 subjects were analyzed. The pooled sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) for the entire population was 72% (95% CI, 70-74%), 78% (95% CI, 76-80%) and 15.92 (95% CI, 10.70-23.68), respectively. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) curves revealed a receiver-operating characteristic of 0.88. In subgroup analysis, the DOR for patients using corticosteroids, as well as those for steroid-naïve, non-smoking, smoking, chronic cough and allergic rhinitis patients were 4.47 (95% CI, 3.39-5.90), 21.40 (95% CI, 15.38-29.76), 19.84 (95%...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
