Stratifying a Risk for an Increased Variation of Airway Caliber among the Clinically Stable Asthma

Stratifying a Risk for an Increased Variation of Airway Caliber among the Clinically Stable Asthma

Background: Recently, correlations of peak expiratory flow (PEF) variation have been shown to facilitate the prediction of later asthma symptoms and exacerbations. However, it has not been fully examined whether or not any patient characteristics are associated with the residual airway lability in t...
