Evaluating YKL-40 in BA and COPD

This exploratory pilot study used a retrospective cross-sectional design to evaluate the practical relevance of YKL-40 (and other blood parameters) to delineate between BA subjects and COPD subjects. To the best of our knowledge, such basic information is lacking in Europe and is scarce around the world [18 (link),19 (link),20 (link)]. Hence, a group of age- and sex- matched patients was selected in order to obtain evidence-based information about the clinical applicability of these biomarkers.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
