Data are presented as mean±sd unless otherwise stated. Mean differences are visit 2 minus visit 1. 95% LoA: 95% limits of agreement; CoV: coefficient of variation; FRC: functional residual capacity; ICC: intra-class correlation coefficient; LCI: lung clearance index; Sacin: distal/intra-acinar airways ventilation heterogeneity; Scond: conducting airways ventilation heterogeneity; TO: lung turnover.
