The asthma control test (ACT), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)), and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) have all been used as markers of asthma control. However, the use of FeNO as a surrogate marker remains controversial. OBJECTIVES: (i) To examine whether asthma education is associated with asthma control; (ii) to compare absolute levels and changes of ACT, FEV(1), and FeNO over a year; and (iii) to evaluate whether FeNO can be used as an additional marker of asthma control. METHODS: Fifty asthmatics with poor adherence (12 mild, 21 moderate, and 17 severe) received asthma education at study entry. Medications were unchanged for the first 3 months, and ACT, FEV(1), and FeNO measurements were recorded at entry, 3, 6, and 12 months. Asthma control was assessed at each visit and patients were categorized as either \"stable\" or \"unstable\" asthmatics according to the global initiative for asthma (GINA) guidelines. RESULTS: A significant decrease in FeNO and increase in ACT score were noted in the stable asthmatic group at 3 months (p < .001), and this persisted over 12 months. Significant correlations were seen between changes (Δ) in FeNO, ACT, and FEV(1) over time. However, significant correlations between the absolute levels were not maintained over 12 months. A decrease of ≥18.6% in FeNO and a ≥3-point increase in ACT score (sensitivity: 80% and 73.3% and specificity: 83.3% and 87.5%, respectively) were associated with stable asthma control although the absolute levels were not. CONCLUSIONS: Asthma education may be useful to achieve stable control. In addition, changes rather than absolute levels of FeNO and ACT may be better markers of asthma control.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":2.772588722239781,"endowment":2.772588722239781,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"23163920","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2021999298","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":0.4753,"citation_percentile":0.63865471,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2013,"count":2},{"year":2014,"count":1},{"year":2016,"count":1},{"year":2017,"count":2},{"year":2018,"count":1},{"year":2019,"count":1},{"year":2020,"count":1},{"year":2021,"count":1},{"year":2023,"count":3},{"year":2025,"count":2}],"oa_status":"closed","license":null,"oa_locations":[{"url":"http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/10256018808623883","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.3109/02770903.2012.741638","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23163920","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Asthma and respiratory diseases","Inhalation and Respiratory Drug Delivery","Delphi Technique in Research","Adolescent","Adult","Aged","Anti-Asthmatic Agents","Area Under Curve","Asthma","Female","Humans","Male","Middle Aged","Nitric Oxide","Patient Education as Topic","Prospective Studies","ROC Curve","Sensitivity and Specificity","Spirometry","Statistics, Nonparametric","Surveys and Questionnaires","Young Adult"],"mesh_terms":["Adolescent","Adult","Aged","Asthma","Female","Humans","Male","Middle Aged","Nitric Oxide","Patient Education as Topic","Prospective Studies","Surveys and Questionnaires","ROC Curve","Sensitivity and Specificity","Spirometry","Statistics, Nonparametric","Anti-Asthmatic Agents","Area Under Curve","Young Adult"],"keywords":["Exhaled nitric oxide","Medicine","Asthma","Internal medicine","Asthma management","Physical therapy","Spirometry"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"No poverty"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-07T00:07:20.432500Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
