The frequency of daytime phlegm was significantly correlated with FeNO (Figure 2A). FeNO was significantly higher in patients who answered “ occasionally”, “sometimes”, “often”, or “always” for G3, the question on daytime phlegm (47.0±36.6 parts per billion [ppb], n=104), than in patients who answered “never” (38.1±31.3 ppb, n=144) (Figure 2B). The frequency of losing the sense of smell was also significantly correlated with FeNO (Figure 2C). FeNO was significantly higher in patients who answered “occasionally”, “sometimes”, “often”, or “always” for G12, the question on losing the sense of smell (50.8±40.1 ppb, n=84), than in patients who answered “never” (37.3±29.2 ppb, n=164) (Figure 2D). Although the frequency of losing the sense of smell was well correlated with FeNO, the frequencies of runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion were not (data not shown). In contrast, the scores for runny nose, sneezing, or nasal congestion, but not that for losing the sense of smell, were significantly correlated with the asthma symptoms score (Figure 3A–D).","divisions":[{"label":"title","span":{"begin":0,"end":42}}],"tracks":[]}
