Popis: BackgroundEvaluating oscillometry parameters separately for the inspiratory and expiratory breath phases and their within-breath differences can help to identify exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in pediatric outpatients disclosing exercise-induced symptoms (EIS).AimsTo assess the response in impedance parameters following an exercise challenge in patients reporting EIS.MethodsSixty-eight patients reporting EIS (34 asthmatics and 34 suspected of asthma, age mean = 10.8 years, range = 6.0–16.0) underwent an incremental treadmill exercise test. Spirometry was performed at baseline and 1, 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-min post exercise. Oscillometry was performed at baseline and at 3- and 18-min post exercise. Bronchodilator response to 200 µg albuterol was then assessed. EIB was defined as a forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) fall ≥10% from baseline. Expiratory and inspiratory resistance (Rrs) and reactance (Xrs), their z-score (Ducharme et al. 2022), and their mean within-breath differences (ΔRrs = Rrsexp-Rrsinsp, ΔXrs = Xrsexp-Xrsinsp) were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and their areas (AUCs) were used to evaluate impedance parameters’ performances in classifying EIB.ResultsAsthmatic patients developed EIB more frequently than those suspected of asthma [18/34 (52.9%) vs. 2/34 (5.9%), p
