From: CTSS contributes to airway neutrophilic inflammation in mixed granulocytic asthma

CTSS was associated with neutrophilic airway inflammation and lung function in asthma. A ~ D, Significant positive correlations were detected between sputum CTSS and the dose of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), sputum sE-cadherin, neutrophils (Neu), FeNO. E, CTSS level was negatively correlated with the lung function parametre FEF25 − 75. The data were analyzed using nonparametric Spearman correlation
