All asthma phenotypes studied were negatively associated with FEV1 in adolescence. IOS measurements indicated that active asthma could be associated with small airway impairments. These results provide new insights into the physiology underlying wheezing phenotypes based on age of onset and duration of disease.
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.
