NCT04301674

Brief Summary

The project aims to increase the diagnostic accuracy in occupational asthma (OA), with emphasis on Irritant Induced Asthma (IIA). Currently, most patients are evaluated in occupational medicine by comparing the exposure and symptom characteristics with epidemiological data. Biological markers may be present in AA, but presently not in IIA. The majority of cases evaluated are considered as possible IIA, i.e. low-dose multiple exposures. VOC features will be analyzed with the Breath Biopsy® and TD-GS-MS (Owlstone Medical Ltd, UK).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Discovery of VOC Biomarkers in Asthma

    To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of VOC biomarkers in exhaled breath samples to identify asthma.

    Baseline

  • Discovery of VOC Biomarkers in Occupational Irritant Asthma

    To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of VOC biomarkers in exhaled breath samples to identify irritant asthma after occupational exposures.
