  • Data are presented as mean±sd or median (range). FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC: forced vital capacity; FEF25–75%: forced expiratory volume at 25–75% of FVC; TLC: total lung capacity; RV: residual volume; DL,CO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; MBNW: multiple breath nitrogen washout; FOT: forced oscillation technique; LCI: lung clearance index; Scond: index of conductive airways heterogeneity; Sacin: index of diffusive airways heterogeneity; N: upper limit of normal; Rrs: respiratory system resistance; Xrs: respiratory system reactance; eNO: exhaled nitric oxide; SGRQ: St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire.
