Association among lung function, exhaled nitric oxide, and the CAN questionnaire to assess asthma control in children

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the association among a validated symptom‐based questionnaire for asthma control in children (CAN), forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1), and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO). Methods Observational cross‐sectional study was performed in a...

Zusammenfassung:	Background The aim of this study was to investigate the association among a validated symptom‐based questionnaire for asthma control in children (CAN), forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1), and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO). Methods Observational cross‐sectional study was performed in a consecutive sample of asthmatic children aged between 7 and 14 years old from December 2007 to February 2008. FENO was measured with a portable electrochemical analyzer and forced spirometry was performed according to American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society. The CAN questionnaire was completed by the parents (aged
