Lung clearance index is elevated in young children with symptom‐controlled asthma
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary function testing has been recommended as an adjunct to symptom monitoring for assessment of asthma control. Lung clearance index (LCI) measures ventilation inhomogeneity and is thought to represent changes in the small airways. It has been proposed as a useful early marker of airway disease in asthmatic subjects, and determining it is feasible in preschool children. This study aims to assess whether LCI remains elevated in …
