Abstract Objective To evaluate the value of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) combined with impulse oscillometry (IOS) in the diagnosis of asthma in preschool children, and to establish the optimal predictive model. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 156 children with wheezing, aged 3-5 years, who were admitted from September 2019 to December 2020. These children were divided into an asthma group with 52 children and a non-asthma group with 104 children. The two groups were compared in terms of IOS parameters, FeNO, and clinical data. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to establish the optimal predictive model. Results Compared with the non-asthma group, the asthma group had significantly higher total respiratory system impedance at 5 Hz (Z5), resistance of respiratory system at 5 Hz and 20 Hz (R5 and R20, respectively), resonance frequency, reactance area (AX), and FeNO and a significantly lower reactance difference at 5 Hz (P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that Z5, R5, R20, and FeNO had a certain value in the diagnosis of asthma (P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis established the optimal predictive model of R20+AX+FeNO, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.858 (P<0.05), a sensitivity of 78.8%, and a specificity of 76.9%. Conclusions FeNO combined with IOS is helpful for the diagnosis of asthma in preschool children, and the model of R20+AX+FeNO has a certain value in the diagnosis of asthma in these children.
