Abstract EN
Inflammatory phenotype classification using induced sputum appears attractive as it can be applied to inflammation-based management of the patients with asthma.
The aim of the study was to determine the reproducibility of inflammatory phenotype over time in patients with asthma.
In 66 adults asthma was categorized as steroid-naïve (SN, n=17), mild to moderate (MMA, n=33), and refractory treated with oral corticosteroids (RA, n=16).
Clinical assessment, skin prick testing, spirometry, and two sputum inductions in 4–6-week interval were done.
Inflammatory phenotypes were classified as eosinophilic (EA), consisting of eosinophilic and mixed granulocytic phenotypes, and noneosinophilic (NEA) consisting of paucigranulocytic and neutrophilic phenotypes.
During study asthma treatment remained constant.
In SN group 25% of patients changed phenotype from EA to NEA and 44% changed phenotype from NEA to EA.
In MMA group 26% of patients changed phenotype from EA to NEA and 50% changed phenotype from NEA to EA.
In 29% of RA patients inflammatory phenotype changed from EA to NEA and in 22% it changed from NEA to EA.
Inflammatory classification, using induced sputum, is not fully reproducible in adults with asthma in short-term evaluation.
EA seems to be more stable phenotype across all subgroups whereas NEA remained stable only in RA group.
