FOT indices were measured and the association between these indices and spirometry, peak inspiratory flow rate, blood inflammatory biomarkers and patient-reported outcomes including assessment of dyspnoea, quality of life, anxiety and depression and frailty at admission and discharge were explored.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>All patients were able to perform FOT in both sitting and supine position. The prevalence of expiratory flow limitation (EFL) in the upright position was 39% (32 out of 82) and increased to 50% (41 out of 82) in the supine position. EFL (measured by \u0394Xrs<jats:sub>5Hz<\/jats:sub>) and resistance at 5\u2005Hz (Rrs<jats:sub>5Hz<\/jats:sub>) negatively correlated with forced expiratory volume in 1\u2005s (FEV<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>); those with EFL had lower FEV<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>(0.74\u00b10.30<jats:italic>versus<\/jats:italic>0.94\u00b10.36\u2005L, p\u2009=\u20090.01) and forced vital capacity (1.7\u00b10.55<jats:italic>versus<\/jats:italic>2.1\u00b10.63\u2005L, p\u2009=\u20090.009) and higher body mass index (27 (21\u201336)<jats:italic>versus<\/jats:italic>23 (19\u201326) kg\u00b7m<jats:sup>\u22122<\/jats:sup>, p\u2009=\u20090.03) compared to those without EFL.

The prevalence of EFL increased when patients moved from a seated to a supine position and EFL was negatively correlated with airflow limitation. Improvements in EFL were associated with a reduction in breathlessness. FOT is of potential clinical value by providing a noninvasive, objective and effort-independent technique to measure lung function parameters during AECOPD requiring hospital admission.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1183\/23120541.00448-2021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,10]],"date-time":"2021-12-10T11:00:18Z","timestamp":1639134018000},"page":"00448-2021","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1183\/ers-crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The clinical utility of forced oscillation technique during hospitalisation in patients with exacerbation of COPD"],"prefix":"10.1183","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1795-5092","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaber S.","family":"Alqahtani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmad M.","family":"Al Rajeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdulelah M.","family":"Aldhahir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yousef S.","family":"Aldabayan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7246-6040","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John R.","family":"Hurst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Swapna","family":"Mandal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"81","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024101711242106000_7.4.00448-2021.1","unstructured":"Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) .
