Diagnostic Value of the Hypertonic Saline Bronchial Provocation Test in Children with Asthma Using the High-power Aerosol Provocation System.

Conclusions: HS-BPT-APS is simple, safe, and time-saving, with few adverse reactions. The positive rate of HS-BPT-APS was higher than that of methacholine BPT in children with asthma. HS-BPT-APS may be a valuable tool in the diagnosis of children with asthma, and further study is required. PMID: 31922916 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
