The association between serum apolipoprotein B and fractional exhaled nitric oxide in bronchial asthma patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Asthma and lipid metabolism are associated with systemic inflammation. However, the studies about the relationship between lipid profile, fractional exhaled nitric acid (FeNO) and pulmonary function test (PFT) results are currently lacking.

Methods

We enrolled asthma patients who had serum lipid profiles including apolipoprotein levels from March 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. We classified the asthma patients into two groups according to the diagnosis method: (I) patients who were diagnosed based on clinical symptoms/signs and PFT results and (II) patients diagnosed with clinical symptoms/signs. Clinical characteristics including age, underlying diseases, smoking status, allergy test results and treatment agents were compared between the two groups. The associatio
