Resumo

The use of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) has been proposed for identifying and monitoring eosinophilic airway inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To explore the clinical utility of FeNO in COPD, we aimed to assess its short-term variability in a clinically stable COPD cohort.
