Asthma rehabilitation at high vs. low altitude and its impact on exhaled nitric oxide and sensitization patterns: Randomized parallel-group trial

Allergens and pollution are reduced at high altitude. We investigated the effect of asthma rehabilitation at high altitude (HA, 3100  m) compared to low altitude (LA, 760 m) on exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and on specific IgE levels for house dust mites (HDM,d1) and common pollen (sx1).
