Airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and anti-asthma therapy responses in cough variant asthma and classic asthma with FEV1% ≥80% predicted
Patients with CVA exhibited lower levels of airway eosinophilic inflammation compared to those with mild CA. Most patients with mild CA and CVA could benefit promptly from anti-asthma treatment. Additionally, an improvement in FEV<sub>1</sub> and FEV<sub>1</sub>% during BDT can potentially predict positive responses to anti-asthma therapy in both groups.
