Mometasone or Tiotropium in Mild Asthma with a Low Sputum Eosinophil Level.
Summary
Because approximately half of all mild-moderately-severe asthma is persistently non-eosinophilic, it is important to determine prospectively if patients who are persistently non-eosinophilic differ in their benefit from inhaled corticosteroid treatment compared to patients who are not persistently non-eosinophilic.
