Small airway dysfunction measured by impulse oscillometry is associated with exacerbations and poor symptom control in patients with asthma treated in a tertiary hospital subspecialist airways disease clinic
Respiratory oscillometry is a sensitive measure of small airways dysfunction that should complement spirometry in the routine assessment of asthma. Small airways dysfunction is highly prevalent in patients with asthma referred to a tertiary asthma clinic. R<sub>5</sub>-R<sub>20</sub> was the metric most predictive in identifying patients at risk of asthma exacerbations and poor asthma control.
