28 AT S RECOMMENDATIONS Dweik RA, Boggs PB, Erzurum SC, et al. An Official ATS Clinical Practice Guideline: Interpretation of Exhaled Nitric Oxide Levels (FeNO) for Clinical Applications. American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. 2011;184(5): doi: /rccm st.

29 ATS RECOMMENDATIONS We recommend the use of FeNO in the diagnosis of eosinophilic airway inflammation. We recommend the use of FeNO in determining the likelihood of steroid responsiveness in individuals with chronic respiratory symptoms possible due to airway inflammation. Dweik RA, Boggs PB, Erzurum SC, et al. An Official ATS Clinical Practice Guideline: Interpretation of Exhaled Nitric Oxide Levels (FeNO) for Clinical Applications. American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. 2011;184(5): doi: /rccm st.

30 ATS RECOMMENDATIONS We suggest that FeNO may be used to support the diagnosis of asthma in situations in which objective evidence is needed. We suggest the use of cut points rather than reference values when interpreting FeNO levels. Dweik RA, Boggs PB, Erzurum SC, et al. An Official ATS Clinical Practice Guideline: Interpretation of Exhaled Nitric Oxide Levels (FeNO) for Clinical Applications. American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. 2011;184(5): doi: /rccm st.

31 ATS RECOMMENDATIONS We recommend accounting for age as a factor affecting FeNO in children younger than 12 years of age. We recommend that low FeNO (< 25ppb) be used to indicate that eosinophilic inflammation and responsiveness to corticosteroids are less likely. Dweik RA, Boggs PB, Erzurum SC, et al. An Official ATS Clinical Practice Guideline: Interpretation of Exhaled Nitric Oxide Levels (FeNO) for Clinical Applications. American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. 2011;184(5): doi: /rccm st.

32 ATS RECOMMENDATIONS We recommend that FeNO (> 50ppb) be used to indicate that eosinophilic inflammation and in symptomatic patients, responsiveness to corticosteroids are likely. We recommend that FeNO values between 25ppb and 50ppb should be interpreted cautiously with reference to the clinical context. Dweik RA, Boggs PB, Erzurum SC, et al. An Official ATS Clinical Practice Guideline: Interpretation of Exhaled Nitric Oxide Levels (FeNO) for Clinical Applications. American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. 2011;184(5): doi: /rccm st.

33 ATS RECOMMENDATIONS We recommend accounting for persistent and/or high allergen exposure as a factor associated with higher levels of FeNO. We recommend the use of FeNO in monitoring airway inflammation in patients with asthma. Dweik RA, Boggs PB, Erzurum SC, et al. An Official ATS Clinical Practice Guideline: Interpretation of Exhaled Nitric Oxide Levels (FeNO) for Clinical Applications.
