Changes in airway resistance and its correlation with disease severity in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia
The airway resistance of the children with SMPP was significantly higher than that of the children with MMPP. The primary increase was observed in small airway resistance, which might be accompanied by an increase in large airway resistance, along with a decrease in lung compliance. R5, R20, and X5 were found to be correlated with the severity of MPP, indicating that IOS is a valuable tool for assessing MPP severity.
