Loss of asthma control can be discriminated from clinically stable episodes by longitudinal monitoring of exhaled metabolites measured by GC/MS and particularly eNose. Part of the uncovered biomarkers was associated with sputum eosinophils. These findings provide proof of principle for monitoring and identification of loss of asthma control by breathomics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
