Simultaneous evaluation of the fractional exhaled nitric oxide and blood eosinophil count of T2-high endotype in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis

CONCLUSIONS: Simultaneous evaluation of FeNO and BEC proposed different endotypes of bronchiectasis established that patients with low BEC and high FeNO had better lung function, fewer affected lobes, lower dyspnea prevalence, and less disease severity. This result will contribute to a more comprehensive assessment of the disease severity and lead to more precise treatment of T2 inflammation in bronchiectasis patients.PMID:37889184 | PMC:PMC10612456 | DOI:10.1177/14799731231210559
