Introduction FeNO (Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide) is one of the tools used for asthma diagnosis. However, its use as a diagnostic test requires a standardized measurement technique due to the many confusion factors that can affect its values. These alterations have been recorded in literature but were never summarized. As such, the aim of our systematic review is to collect an analyze all the information on the influence of allergic rhinitis and atopy on FeNO and reach a conclusion about how their presence can modify its values in asthma diagnosis.

Work’s Background • Establish our systematic review’s aims • Improve the interpretation of FeNO values as a diagnostic test for asthma. • Assess how atopy and how allergic rhinitis affect exhaled nitric oxide values. • Define research questions: • How does atopy influence FeNO values? • How does allergic rhinitis influence FeNO values? • Search for an adequate query • This was used in the article search • (Exhaled nitric oxide OR Nitric oxide OR FeNO OR eNO) AND (“Allergic Rhinitis” OR Atopy OR “Skin prick test” OR “Prick test” OR “Ig E” OR “Specific Ig”) FeNO: Influence of Allergic Rhinitis and Atopy on its values
Work’s Background • Define the inclusion and exclusion criteria • Define our variables for data extraction • Define how statistical analysis will be made FeNO: Influence of Allergic Rhinitis and Atopy on its values
