Extract
We thank F. Guezguez and H. Ben Saad for raising important questions on recommendations for assessing a bronchodilator response (BDR) in children. The authors summarise how recommended outcome measures and cut-offs for BDR in children vary between guidelines, and raise questions about our study [1].
Abstract
More research is needed to evaluate the usefulness of diagnostic tests for asthma in children and cut-offs should be critically questioned and defined based on evidence from the patient population of interest https://bit.ly/33xjLVW
