BackgroundLung oscillometry is an emerging lung function test for assessing obstructive airway disease. Comparisons of oscillometry parameters and their bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR) between bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are limited. Research QuestionDo oscillometry parameters and their BDR differ between stable asthma and COPD patients with similar severity of airflow obstruction? Study Design and MethodsWe included 467 consecutive adult pati...
