Development of an AI Model for Predicting Methacholine Bronchial Provocation Test Results Using Spirometry [PDF]
DiagnosticsBackground/Objectives: The methacholine bronchial provocation test (MBPT) is a diagnostic test frequently used to evaluate airway hyper-reactivity. MBPT is essential for diagnosing asthma; however, it can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.

Bronchial provocation tests in clinical practice [PDF]
São Paulo Medical Journal, 2011 Bronchial hyperresponsiveness, which consists of an exaggerated response of the airways to bronchoconstrictor stimuli, is one of the main characteristics of asthma, presented in nearly all asthmatic patients.

Development and validation of a nomogram for predicting cough variant asthma diagnosis [PDF]
BMC Pulmonary MedicineBackground Cough variant asthma (CVA) is a specific type of asthma characterized by chronic cough as the sole or predominant symptom. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, yet bronchial provocation test is not always feasible in clinical
