Popis: | Introduction: Accurate and timely diagnosis of exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is important for disease management, especially in children. Exhaled Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can reflect underlying disease activity in the airways potentially enabling non-invasive diagnosis. Objectives: In this cross-sectional study we investigated whether exhaled VOCs can discriminate between children with and without EIB. Methods: Exhaled breath was collected in 46 children with a clinical suspicion of EIB using the Breath Biopsy platform (Owlstone Medical). EIB was assessed at OCON sports-medical clinic by a standardised exercise challenge with pulmonary function testing prior to and after exercise. EIB was defined as a post-exercise drop in FEV1>13% (on ICS) or a >20% FEV1 reduction (ICS naive). VOCs were extracted from the chromatogram and matched to library-IDs. Significantly discriminating VOCs were input into a Canonical Discriminant Analysis to subsequently generate a ROC-Curve with AUC value. Results: VOCs did not differentiate between EIB (n= 21, age 8.7±2.2yrs) and controls (n=25, age 8.4±3.1 years), AUC 0.42±0.31. Similar results were found in post-hoc analysis when limiting the analysis to subjects taking ICS (n=23, AUC 0.65±0.12). However, in ICS naive subjects a significant difference was found (n=23, AUC 0.86±0.08), this was driven by 5 VOCs. Conclusions: Analysis of exhaled VOCs only discriminates patients with and without EIB if they are steroid naive. Speculatively, this could be related to ICS related suppression of inflammation although results require confirmation in a larger study. |
