Airway Oscillometry Reactance Area Provides Independent Prognostication for Graft Loss in Recipients with Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction

Purpose: Airway oscillometry (Osc) reactance area (Ax) is a novel tool to assess peripheral airway& lung parenchymal function after lung transplant (LTx). The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of Ax on graft loss in recipients with chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) in relation to spirometric decline.
