Same-day repeatability of fractional exhaled nitric oxide in severe asthma
Ran Wang, Fahad Alahmadi, Robert Niven, Stephen J. Fowler European Respiratory Journal 2021 57: 2003391; DOI: 10.1183/13993003.03391-2020 Abstract Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) demonstrates marked same-day variation in patients with severe asthma, which may impact on clinical decisions.

Impact of omalizumab on treatment of severe allergic asthma in UK clinical practice: a UK multicentre observational study (the APEX II study)
Results The response rate to omalizumab at 16?weeks was 82.4%. Comparing pre-omalizumab and post-omalizumab periods, the mean (95% CIs) daily dose of OCS decreased by 1.61 (?2.41 to ?0.80)?mg/patient/day (p<0.001) and hospital exacerbations decreased by 0.97 (?1.19 to ?0.75) exacerbations/patient (p<0.001).
