Purpose: The risk of developing asthma-like symptoms and asthma in childhood is influenced by genetics, environmental exposures, prenatal and early postnatal events, and their interactions. The cohort name refers to vitamins A and D, and nitric oxide (NO) spelt backwards and this cohort profile paper aims to present the data collection and aim of the cohort.The overall aim when establishing this cohort was to investigate if childhood lung function can be traced back to early neonatal lung function and fractional exhaled NO (FeNO) and investigate prenatal and postnatal risk factors including maternal and neonatal vitamin A and D levels in preterm and term born children.

Aim: In this review, we aim to describe how exhaled Nitric Oxide(NO) changes during the first months of life in premature and mature infants.

Method: Review of the literature up to August 2020, on online, tidal breathing NO measurements in unsedated infants. The association between Fractional exhaled NO(FeNO) values, postnatal age, and prematurity was analysed using linear mixed modeling and Spearman's rank correlation.
