Correlation between fraction of exhaled nitric oxide and airway reversibility in asthmatic children aged 5 to 14

??Objective??To explore the correlation between FeNO levels and airway reversibility and its clinical significance in assessment of children with asthma. Methods??A total of 161 children at 5 to14 years old with asthma admitted to pediatric respiratory outpatient of Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University from November 2014 to November 2015 were divided into allergic group and non-allergic group according to the allergic condition. FeNO and bronchial dilatation tests were made in the two groups. The correlation between FeNO levels and improvement rate after bronchodilator in two groups was analyzed. Results????1??FeNO level in allergy group was obviously higher than that in non-allergic group??P??0.002??. ??2?? FeNO level of children in allergic group was positively correlated with improvent of bronchial improvement??P??0.05????and negatively correlated with FEV1%?? FEV1/FVC%?? FEF50%?? FEF25% and FEF75/25% of basic lung function??P??0.05????but was irrelevant to FVC%?? PEF% and FEF75% of basic lung function??P??0.05??.??3??FeNO level of children in non-allergic group was irrelevant to improvement rates of bronchial dilation and basic lung function??P??0.05??. Conclusion??For asthmatic children with allergic constitution??FeNO level is positively correlated with airway reversibility. It may be a good noninvasive predictor for evaluating asthma and airway reversibility in children with asthma. While for children without allergic constitution??FeNO level cannot indicate the airway reversibility effectively.
