  1. Values are presented as Mean (SD) or as Median (Interquartil Range), otherwise indicated: *Median (Range), †Mean (Range), ‡ Dispersion Measure not presented, §The studies' reports do not included numerical results. ||Comparison was based in a ratio between FeNO values in each group: 1, 2 or 3 arrows means a ratio increase/decrease on FeNO values of 1,2 or 3 or more times, respectively. DS: During Season OS: Out of Season. Adult classification was defined as a mean/median age value ≥18 years. Atopic was defined as presence of allergic sensitization without asthma and without rhinitis. All comparisons are statistically significant (p < 0.05), otherwise indicated. NR: Statistical significance not reported. NS: Not significant.
