Details and patient eligibility

About

Current guideline-based criteria defining bronchial asthma do not always meet the challenges set by the complex pathophysiology of the disease. The investigators therefore aimed to evaluate novel or not widely used functional diagnostic approaches for the detection and therapeutic monitoring of patients with asthma.
