Abstract
Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) is currently used as a biomarker of
airway inflammation in patients with asthma. However, the role of alveolar nitric oxide (CANO) in
asthmatic children has not been clearly demonstrated
It was a prospective and descriptive study. The measurement of FENO and CANO, spirometry, blood eosinophil counts (BEC), and total IgE levels were performed for each study subject.
This study included 109 uncontrolled asthmatic children without inhaled corticosteroid
(ICS) treatment. The exhaled NO level in asthmatic patients was significantly higher than in control
subjects: FENO: 22.5 vs. 8.4 ppb; CANO: 5.9 vs. 2.8 ppb; J’awNO (maximum airway nitric oxide
flux): 56.9 vs. 18.7 ppb; respectively. The sensitivities and specificities for asthma diagnosis with
the cut-off of CANO at 3.5 ppb and 5.0 ppb were 74.3% and 73.3%, and 46.0% and 83.3%, respectively. There were the moderate and the weak correlations between CANO with FENO and CANO
with IgE in asthmatic patients (r = 0.465, 95%CI (0.133-0.659), P=0.001; r=0.133, 95%CI (0.068-
0.497), P=0.184; respectively). The percentage of controlled asthma in patients with CANO ≥5 ppb
at inclusion was higher than that in CANO <5 ppb group.
Exhaled NO is a relevant biomarker of allergic asthma. The level of FENO and CANO
might be used to predict asthma control in children.
