Lung clearance index predicts persistence of preschool wheeze
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The lung clearance index (LCI) is a measure of pulmonary function. Variable feasibility (50->80%) in preschool children has been reported. There are limited studies exploring its relationship to respiratory symptoms and how it predicts persistent wheeze. We aimed to assess the association with respiratory symptoms in preschool-aged children with LCI and determine its utility in predicting persistent wheeze.
METHODS: LCI was measured …
