The role of small airways on persistent bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BHR) in asthma children with asthma: the comparison of predicted percentage value vs Z score of spirometry

The bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) is a key component of asthma pathophysiology. BHR at the single point in time reflect the state of airway and is influenced by allergen, irritant and infection and airway size, etc. Persistent BHR is a predictor in subsequent asthma or relapse. To investigate factors related with persistent BHR.
