Beschreibungen/Notizen

• In our study, there were a significant number (22%) of older adults with asthma who took a longer time to manifest a positive BDR. [...]extending the time interval to 60 minutes could help to identify an additional cohort of older adults with asthma compared to current advocated methods. Since our current study was not powered to detect an optimal cut point for the elderly, future studies will be needed to determine appropriate cut points for BDR by age group.
