Comparison of expiratory dynamic airway collapse (EDAC) patients with controls for values as defined by Dellacà et al. [24] from analyses of inspiratory and expiratory measurements of impulse oscillometry data
| Control | EDAC | p-value | |
| Mean X5 ex cmH2O·s−1·L−1 | −0.92±0.22 | −3.21±3.42 | 0.027 |
| Min X5 ex cmH2O·s−1·L−1 | −1.54±0.36 | −6.08±6.39 | 0.020 |
| ΔX5 cmH2O·s−1·L−1 | 0.17±0.08 | 2.10±3.35 | 0.051 |
| Peak-to-peak X5 cmH2O·s−1·L−1 | 1.22±0.48 | 6.14±6.5 | 0.014 |
Data are presented as mean±sd, unless otherwise stated. Mean X5 ex: mean expiratory values of X5; min X5: lowest value of X5 during expiration; ΔX5: a machine-derived measure of mean X5 values; peak-to-peak X5: measure of values from highest to lowest X5 values.
