[Airway remodeling assessed by high-resolution computed tomography in patients with asthma: relationship to biological markers in induced sputum].
To explore the significance of assessing asthma control by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and biological markers in induced sputum. ⋯ HRCT and biological markers in induced sputum could be used to accurately evaluate asthma control. These findings suggest that the severity of asthma, especially, near-fatal attack of asthma, is correlated not only with the degree of airway remodeling, but also with the degree of air trapping.
