Interrelation Between Bronchial Asthma and Smoking
In Brief
An observational study evaluating using serum periostin and eotaxin-2 level and airway corticosteroid sensitivity for Bronchial Asthma. Completed, enrolled 117 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Smoking occurs frequently in patients with asthma. Recent surveys on smoking prevalence report 21-26% current smokers in populations of patients with asthma. Detrimental effects of active smoking in asthma include worse asthma control, an impaired response to corticosteroids and accelerated lung function decline.

Interventions
collect serum sample from each group and detection of serum periostin and eotaxin-2 are using Eliza kits. each group is divided into two groups (patients who are already using ICS and patients who do not use ICS) and we compare between to groups in airway hypersensitivity.
