Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Main study parameters/endpoints: Lung Clearance Index (LCI), airway resistance (R), functional residual capacity( FRC) and maximal flow at FRC (VmaxFRC)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Does high LCI at the age of 6 months predict more respiratory symptoms and hospitalisations due to respiratory problems in the follow up period (first year of life)? 2. Is het possible to determine perinatal/ neonatal riskfactors for high LCI at the age of 6 months?	—
