Association between fraction of exhaled nitric oxide and spirometry data and clinical control of asthma in children and adolescents

Conclusions: The correlation observed between GINA and FEV1 reinforces the importance of s pirometry in the clinical follow-up of these patients. Although no association was found between the value of FeNO and the degree of asthma control and FEV1, FeNO may be an early method to detect airway inflammation, even before the symptoms and spirometric changes.
