Summary
The application of biomarkers that are more closely associated with eosinophillic airway
inflammation, such as measurements of FeNO level, cell count in induced sputum or bronchial
reactivity could improve asthma control by better directing treatment. A systematic review
and meta-analysis is to be conducted to assess the efficacy of tailoring asthma intervention
on clinical symptoms compared with exhaled nitric oxide or induced sputum count.
