Abstract
Telemonitoring trials for early detection of acute exacerbations (AECOPD) have provided mixed results. Day-to-day variations in lung function measured by forced oscillation technique (FOT) may yield better insight. We evaluated the clinical utility of home telemonitoring of variability of FOT measures, in terms of (i) relationship with symptoms and quality of life, and (ii) the timing of variability of FOT measures and symptom changes prior to AECOPD.File in questo prodotto:
