Exacerbation history in COPD patients with and without Expiratory Flow Limitation (EFL) measured by forced oscillometry technique (FOT)

Within-breath reactance, DX5 was estimated as mean inspiratory X5 - mean expiratory X5 over a period of 30s, and EFL defined when the mean of 3 such measurements exceeded 0.28kPa/L/s, the threshold proposed by Dellaca et al.1 We found that despite having similar levels of spirometric impairment COPD...
