Studies indicate that fixed airflow obstruction is observed in some but not all patients with severe asthma. 1, 2 In addition to poor symptom control and frequent severe exacerbations, airflow limitation is included in the criteria of uncontrolled asthma in the ERS/ATS severe asthma guidelines. 3 Fixed airflow obstruction in severe asthma is usually assessed by spirometry. However, the role of the forced oscillation technique (FOT) is unknown. The FOT is used to measure respiratory system resistance (Rrs) and reactance (Xrs) during tidal breathing and provides information that cannot be obtained by spirometry. 4 We hypothesized that FOT would be useful to diagnose severe asthma and discriminate it from nonsevere asthma. This cross-sectional study assessed the usefulness of FOT in diagnosing severe asthma. The study subjects included 255 adult patients with asthma who visited outpatient clinics at Shizuoka General Hospital or Nihon University Itabashi Hospital consecutively for routine check-ups between February 2013 and August 2016. Patients were excluded from the study if they had an exacerbation at entry or had any acute viral infection within at least 1 month before the study. Patients who could not perform the FOT or spirometry were also excluded from the study. On the examination day, the study subjects underwent blood tests, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), FOT, and spirometry analysis in that order. The peripheral blood eosinophil and neutrophil counts, total IgE (ImmunoCAP system; Phadia, Uppsala, Sweden), serum periostin (Elecsys Periostin assay; Roche Professional Diagnostics, Penzberg, Germany), and chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40)(Human Chitinase 3-like 1 Quantikine ELISA Kit, catalogue number DC3L10; R&D Systems, Inc., Minneapolis, Minn) were measured. FeNO was measured via an online method at a flow rate of 50 mL/s using an
