Relationship between Baseline and Post-bronchodilator Interrupter Resistance and Specific Airway Resistance in preschool children.

CONCLUSION: The poor agreement between the Rint and sRaw reference measurements demonstrates the lack of reliability of sole Rint or sRaw technique for airway obstruction diagnosis and the need to perform each technique concomitantly with BDR test. Other longitudinal and larger sample studies are needed to confirm the threshold value for a positive BDR especially for sRaw. PMID: 31945475 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
