Maximal mid-expiratory flow is a surrogate marker of lung clearance index for assessment of adults with bronchiectasis

Little is known about the comparative diagnostic value of lung clearance index (LCI) and maximal mid-expiratory flow (MMEF) in bronchiectasis. We compared the diagnostic performance, correlation and concordance with clinical variables, and changes of LCI and MMEF% predicted during bronchiectasis exa...
