Forced mid-expiratory flow or FEF<span class="elsevierStyleInf">25–75</span> informs of the functional condition of this bronchial zone. While the value of FEV1 on the spirometric curve expresses the degree of bronchial obstruction with considerable reliability, FEF<span class="elsevierStyleInf">25–75</span> is more variable. Nevertheless, the value of this latter parameter is sometimes used when FEV1 is found to be within normal limits, even when calculated in relation to vital capacity (VC), that is, FEV1/FVC.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9,10</span></a> Since the inflammatory and remodelling processes appear to have a greater impact upon the small airways,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11–13</span></a> it is currently debatable as to whether FEF<span class="elsevierStyleInf">25–75</span> is more precise in assessing bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) when the bronchoconstricting test is performed with methacholine or histamine. According to Hargreave et al.,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> in these tests it is difficult to establish the reduction cut-off points of both parameters differentiating asthmatic patients from non-asthmatic individuals – which according to these authors have been conventionally defined as 20% for FEV1 and 40% for FEF<span class="elsevierStyleInf">25–75</span> – since these limits are not usually exceeded among non-asthmatics. Objective assessment of the test may depend on the methacholine dose administered,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8,15</span></a> which varies according to the different protocols presently in use. The single dose test used in our study affords a more reliable estimation of the methacholine inhaled.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a></p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Different authors consider that in simple spirometry, FEF<span class="elsevierStyleInf">25–75</span> is highly variable and unstable, and should not be considered for the diagnosis of asthma.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8,16</span></a> Regarding its usefulness in the methacholine test, Khalid et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> likewise consider that this parameter lacks clinical significance, as deduced from their study of 77 adult patients – 15 of whom were diagnosed with asthma, while seven had an uncertain diagnosis, and the remaining 55 were non-asthmatics. However, the authors admitted certain doubts in relation to their study, such as its retrospective design; the fact that an uncertain classification system was used; the possibility that two patients with cough as the sole symptom might have had eosinophilic bronchitis; and the possible influence of the variability of bronchial inflammation when the study was made.</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In contrast, other authors consider that FEF<span class="elsevierStyleInf">25–75</span> may have appreciable value. Cirillo et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> performed the methacholine test in a total of 726 patients (mean age 24.7 years) diagnosed with asthma, rhinitis or rhinitis/asthma, and found an evident difference between FEV1 and FEF<span class="elsevierStyleInf">25–75</span> (>20 or a ratio of >1.24) – thus leading some sources to attribute greater value to the latter parameter in establishing the intensity of BHR in both asthmatics and in patients only diagnosed with allergic rhinitis. In another retrospective study involving 532 children between 4 and 18 years of age with suspected asthma, Drewek et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> concluded that although in 329 patients PD20 was not reached with the usual maximum dose of methacholine (≤16<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/ml), the decrease in FEF<span class="elsevierStyleInf">25–75</span> (>10%) proved significant from the second dose of the drug (0.25<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/ml). These authors concluded that FEF<span class="elsevierStyleInf">25–75</span> may be a useful marker for evaluation of the methacholine test, together with FEV1. In another study involving 437 children between 4 and 14 years of age diagnosed with asthma, Simon et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> assessed the usefulness of FEF<span class="elsevierStyleInf">25–75</span> in relation to FEV1 and also to FEV1/FVC, with the purpose of determining whether FEF<span class="elsevierStyleInf">25–75</span> offers additional information in relation to the variability of bronchial inflammation. The authors used provocation with methacholine and the bronchodilatory test with salbutamol, and concluded that in asthmatic children with normal FEV1/FVC values, FEF<span class="elsevierStyleInf">25–75</span> should be regarded as a useful parameter for evaluating respiratory function. Similar conclusions were drawn by Parker et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> in assessing FEF<span class="elsevierStyleInf">25–75</span> in relation to vital capacity.</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Our study shows greater variability in the response to methacholine for FEF<span class="elsevierStyleInf">25–75</span> than for FEV1, coinciding with the findings of other studies.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8,9</span></a> This may suggest that there is greater smooth muscle contractility in the small bronchi, or that such variability may be related to the variations in inflammation in different parts of this region, considering the extensive bronchial ramification characterising this zone.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19,20</span></a> From the theoretical perspective, there should be a correlation between the methacholine doses needed to obtain the two parameters, as has been seen in some patients.
