One-year evolution and variability in multiple-breath washout indices in children and young adults with primary ciliary dyskinesia

One-year evolution and variability in multiple-breath washout indices in children and young adults with primary ciliary dyskinesia

Background and objective: Cross-sectional and longer-term studies have demonstrated abnormal yet stable multiple-breath inert gas washout (MBW) indices in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). This study aimed to assess the intermediate term evolution and the between-occasion variability o...
