Patients with uncontrolled and partly controlled asthma, who maintained their original inhaled corticosteroids therapy, underwent reassessment of airway responsiveness and asthmatic symptoms 3 and 6 months after. Patients with PD20FEV1 lower than geometric mean were defined as responders, otherwise poor responders. Cumulative doses eliciting 20% FEV1fall (PD20FEV1), diagnostic performance and adverse events were compared. The investigators aimed to compare both BPTs and determine their usefulness in reflecting changes of asthmatic symptoms.īPTs were performed in cross-over fashion, at 2-4day intervals. Why Should I Register and Submit Results?Īdenosine monophosphate (AMP) may reflect airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness, but relationship between AMP and histamine (His, a conventional stimulus) bronchial provocation test (BPT) in asthma is not fully elucidated.Excludes Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.
