Background: Some studies have suggested that the forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75% of vital capacity (FEF) can be used as an early marker of bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) in asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR), but is highly variable. Here, we aimed to assess whether the FEF can be used to diagnose BHR in patients with asthma-like symptoms and AR.
