Reproducibility, Validity, and Responsiveness of Cell Counts in Blown Nasal Secretions
Abstract
Cell counts in nasal secretions are not used in routine clinical practice to decide on anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial therapy. This study investigated the reproducibility, reliability (validity), and responsiveness of cell counts in blown nasal secretions with a view to implementing this in routine clinical practice.
