Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of IOS parameters (R5, R20, R5 R20, X5, AX, and Fres) across clinically classified asthma severity groups.Timepoint: Single time point assessment | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of the sensitivity & diagnostic accuracy of IOS & PEFR in reflecting asthma severity, assessing bronchodilator reversibility by measuring changes in IOS & PEFR before & after nebulised salbutamol, & evaluation of the association between total serum IgE levels & IOS parameters.Timepoint: Single time point assessment | — |
