Relationship of Exhaled Nitric Oxide to Asthma Control Test (ACT) Scores and Spirometry in an Inner City Pediatric Population

Statistical significance was found when comparing eNO with FEV1/FVC% predicted (rho = -.408, p = .0001), eNO and FEV1% predicted (rho = -.266, p = .004), eNo and fef 25-75% predicted (rho = -.412, p = .0001). % change post bronchodilator administration of FEV1 and fef 25-75 (rho = .252, p = .031 &am...

Description
Summary:Statistical significance was found when comparing eNO with FEV1/FVC% predicted (rho = -.408, p = .0001), eNO and FEV1% predicted (rho = -.266, p = .004), eNo and fef 25-75% predicted (rho = -.412, p = .0001). % change post bronchodilator administration of FEV1 and fef 25-75 (rho = .252, p = .031 & rho = 0.255, p = .028) was also statistically significant. 79% of patients were on montelukast, 84% on inhaled steroids, and 63% on nasal steroids. 84% had allergic rhinitis, 23% active eczema.
