pubmed:abstractText |
In a previous study we assessed the feasibility of measuring bronchial-reactivity (BHR) in young asthmatic children by the determination of PC(20)-FEV(1) along with clinical end-of-test criteria during a methacholine challenge test (MCT). The end-point was associated with a significant reduction in both flow and vital capacity values. The findings could be due to the children's loss of motivation, which may preclude use of this test. Alternatively, if it reflects air trapping during airway obstruction, it might reinforce its applicability in preschool age children.
