Objective Airway inflammation is a prominent feature of asthma and may play an important role in disease pathophysiology. Despite the increasing incidence of asthma worldwide, reliable diagnostic biomarkers are lacking and widely lead to asthma misdiagnosis. Neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a bi...
