Popis: Introduction: Whether biomarkers (i.e., fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and blood eosinophils) or lung function are additional ultimate outcomes in asthma treatment among patients with clinical remission has been the subject of previous research, the study of the correlations between FeNO, blood eosinophils and lung function among well-controlled asthmatic patients is less clear. To investigate the clinical application of the correlation between FeNO, blood eosinophils and lung function parameters in well-controlled asthmatic patients. Material And Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study. We measured FeNO, blood eosinophil and lung function in 84 asthmatic patients with clinical remission who were assessed by asthma control questionnaires. The correlation coefficient was used to ascertain among those parameters. The diagnostic accuracy of blood eosinophil to identify low FeNO (
