Between observer repeatability of sputum differential cell counts. Influence of cell viability and squamous cell contamination
Induced sputum differential cell counts have been advocated as a method of non-invasively assessing airway inflammation in asthma and other airway diseases. Relatively little is known about the between observer repeatability of sputum differential cell counts and the factors that influence it. We ha...
