Development of normative intra-breath oscillometry (IB-OSC) data

IB-OSC is a new lung function modality that is easier for patients to use, quicker to achieve data in busy clinical settings, and has greater sensitivity to early disease progression. Normative data is urgently needed to aid in interpretation of this technique. Through collaborative research projects we have collated a dataset of over >1000 measurements, however, gaps across the age range are still present. This project will involve the recruitment of children (3-18 years), collecting basic demographic information, medical history and lung function measurements, as well as data cleaning. This data would then be combined with retrospectively collected data to generate reference equations for this technique.
