Introduction: BOS limits survival and quality of life gains post lung transplant (LTx). BOS is defined as a persistent fall in FEV1 to ≤80% of best, after excluding reversible pathologies. However many LTx recipients have evidence of small airway d

Background Long-term outcomes after lung transplantation are often limited by the development of obliterative bronchiolitis (OB), which is clinically defined using spirometry as bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). Lung clearance index (LCI), der
