Journal ArticleDOI

A European respiratory society technical standard : exhaled biomarkers in lung disease

TL;DR: Application of breath biomarker measurement in a standardised manner will provide comparable results, thereby facilitating the potential use of these biomarkers in clinical practice, and highlighting future research priorities in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exhaled breath profiling enables discrimination of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma.

TL;DR: Molecular profiling of exhaled air can distinguish patients with COPD and asthma and control subjects, and the potential of electronic noses in the differential diagnosis of obstructive airway diseases and in the risk assessment in asymptomatic smokers is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

External validation of exhaled breath profiling using an electronic nose in the discrimination of asthma with fixed airways obstruction and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

TL;DR: Background Fixed airflow limitation can be found both in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), posing a day‐to‐day diagnostic challenge.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exhaled air molecular profiling in relation to inflammatory subtype and activity in COPD

TL;DR: Exhaled molecular profiles are closely associated with the type of inflammatory cell and their activation status in mild and moderate COPD, which suggests that breath analysis may be used for assessment and monitoring of airway inflammation in COPD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exhaled breath analysis by electronic nose in airways disease. Established issues and key questions.

TL;DR: This review describes the current status on clinical validation and application of breath analysis by electronic noses in the diagnosis and monitoring of chronic airways diseases, and next steps towards clinical application of electronic noses are provided.
