Alveolar nitric oxide concentration plays an important role in identifying cough variant asthma and assessing asthma control in children

OBJECTIVE: To study the value of alveolar nitric oxide concentration (CaNO) in the identification and disease control of cough variant asthma.

METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on cough variant asthma (CVA-Group), nonasthmatic cough (NAC-Group) and healthy control children (C-Group) aged 5-12 years. The exhaled nitric oxide and spirometry test results of the three groups were collected and compared.

RESULTS: A total of 410 children were included in this study, including 190 in the CVA-Group, 183 in the NAC-Group, and 37 in the C-Group. The CaNO values of the CVA-Group [11.40 ppb (8.48-14.25)] were significantly higher than those of the NAC-Group and C-Group (all p values <.05). The MMEF %pred values of the CVA-Group [63.65 (56.28-73.58)] were significantly lower than those of the NAC-Group and C-Group (all p values <.05). FeNO50, JawNO and other spirometry indices (FVC %pred, FEV1%pred, FEV1/FVC %pred) showed no significant difference among the three groups. ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cutoff point value of CaNO was 9.45 ppb, corresponding to 0.816 sensitivity and 0.736 specificity. Spearman correlation analysis showed a significant negative correlation between the CaNO measurement and CVA control score.

CONCLUSIONS: CaNO can not only help identify CVA early in children aged 5-12 years with chronic cough but is also significantly negatively correlated with the CVA control score.
