- Brief Summary
asa NO values are signignificantly higher in asthmatic patients with rhinitis than those without upper airway diseases or those with chronic rhinosinusitis, suggesting the utility of nasal NO measurements for diagnosing comorbid rhinitis in asthmatic patients. No significant differences were found in nasal NO values between those wit and without asthma. Therefore, nasal NO values seem to be specific to upper airway inflammation. Nasal No values did not associate with the severity of rhinitis. In contrast, nasal NO values were inversely correlated with severity of rhinosinusitis (sinus CT scoring) and asthma control (ACQ scores). When evaluating other biomarkers, serum periostin levels were higher in patients with CRS compared to those without upper airway diseases or those with rhinitis.
