Association between respiratory impedance measured by forced oscillation technique and exacerbations in patients with COPD

BACKGROUND: It is well known that increased airflow limitation as measured by spirometry is associated with the risk of exacerbation in patients with COPD. The forced oscillation technique (FOT) is a noninvasive method used to assess respiratory impedance (resistance and reactance) with minimal pati...
