Comparison of spirometry, impulse oscillometry, and multiple breath washout in children with primary ciliary dyskinesia
This is one of the few studies comparing MBW, IOS, and spirometry in cwPCD. The study has shown that there are significant differences in spirometry and MBW between cwPCD and healthy controls. MBW can detect airway anomalies earlier than spirometry and may be used in follow-up as an alternative pulmonary function test in cwPCD.
