Patients with asthma were also divided into eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic phenotypes.\n A pulmonary function test was performed in all the participants, and serum and induced sputum TARC, periostin concentrations, eosinophils, and total immunoglobulin E values were examined.  <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> TARC and periostin levels were significantly higher in the asthma group than\n in the control group (p &lt; 0.001). The serum TARC level in the eosinophilic group was significantly higher than in the non-eosinophilic and control groups (p &lt; 0.001). The induced sputum TARC level was significantly higher in the non-eosinophilic group than in the control group (p &lt;\n 0.001). The TARC and periostin levels of the patients were evaluated by using receiver operator characteristic analysis. The cutoff value for TARC was determined to be 1415.39 ng\/L; likewise, the cutoff value for periostin was 107.60 ng\/L. The present study detected that serum levels of TARC\n correlated to serum levels of periostin (r = 0.54; p = 0.032). Furthermore, when evaluating correlations between serum and sputum levels, there was a correlation detected between TARC and periostin in serum, whereas this correlation was stronger in sputum: r = 0.66, p = 0.020; and r = 0.62,\n p = 0.028, respectively.  <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Serum and sputum TARC and periostin may contribute for monitoring the improvement of patients, particularly those with asthma. Furthermore, TARC was a more reliable biomarker than periostin for patients with eosinophilic asthma.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2500\/aap.2021.42.200102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,6]],"date-time":"2021-01-06T14:00:25Z","timestamp":1609941625000},"page":"e30-e39","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Diagnostic
