Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship between exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO)/impulse oscillometry(IOS)and small airway function in asthmatic patients. Methods A total of 140 asthma patients were divided into small airway normal function group(n=69)and small airway dysfunction group(n=71). FeNO, eosinophil(EOS)count and total immunoglobulin E(IgE)in peripheral blood and pulmonary function, as well as IOS were measured. Results The levels of FeNO, IgE, reactance area(AX), resonant frequency(Fres)and EOS in small airway dysfunction group were significantly higher than those in small airway normal function group(all P<0.01). FeNO, AX, Fres and EOS were correlative factors of mid forced expiratory flow of percentages of predicted values(FEF25%-75%pred)(r=-0.856, P<0.001; r=-0.851, P<0.001; r=-0.398, P=0.001; r=-0.288, P=0.014)and the turns of standard errors of partial regression coefficient were as follows: FeNO>AX>Fres>EOS. The turns of predictive value in diagnosis of small airway dysfunction were as follows: FeNO combining AX and Fres>FeNO>AX>Fres>EOS. Conclusion FeNO and IOS may be highly sensitive and specific in diagnosis of small airway dysfunction, and their combination can better evaluate the function of small airway in asthmatic patients.
