Table 1 Potential clinical application and future directions for main exhaled biomarkers
From: Exhaled biomarkers in childhood asthma: old and new approaches
Exhaled Biomarkers | Potential Clinical Applications and Future Directions |
|---|---|
feNO | Identification of early-onset asthma among preschool children with recurrent wheezing Stratification of asthmatic patients according to eosinophilic inflammation (treatable trait) |
Analytes measured in EBC | Patient phenotyping and prediction of therapy response based on specific biomarkers profiles |
VOCs in exhaled air | Early asthma diagnosis Patient stratification and phenotyping |
