Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • Spirometrie parameter: o Forced vital capacity (FVC) o Forced expiratory volume in 1s (FEV1) • Difusing capacity of carbondioxide (DLCO) • Multiple FOT-parameters: o Respiratory reactance (X5) --> retraction capacity + degree of peripheral obstruction o Respiratory resistance (R5) --> total respiratory resistance (large airways + small airways + extrathoracic airways like the oropharynx and larynx) o Respiratory resistance (R5) 20-15 Hz (Rrs20-5) --> small airways index • RAND-36 • 5-point Likert-scale | — |

| Measure | Time frame |

| Questionnaires Patient Evaluation Form: - VAS Cough: A visual analog scale (VAS) to assess the intensity of coughing experienced by the patient during the procedure. - VAS Shortness of Breath: A VAS to measure the severity of breathlessness during the procedure. - VAS Comfort: A VAS to evaluate the overall comfort level of the patient during the test. - General Procedure Feedback: Open-ended section for patients to provide feedback on the procedure, including any suggestions or issues encountered. - Quality of life questionnaires (RAND-36 & L-PF) Staff Evaluation Form: Procedure Duration: Record the total time taken to complete the procedure. Was it possible to perform the lung function and/or FOT measurement? No: Provide a reason for the failure to complete the measurement: - Coughing - Shortness of breath - Fatigue/Low energy Yes: - Assess the Quality of the Measurement: Rate on a scale: poor - moderate - adequate - good. - Number of Attempts: Document how many attempts were required to obtain a usable measurement. - Variation Between Measurements: Record any inconsistencies or variability across repeated measurements. - Medical Conclusion Based on the Results: Provide a clinical interpretation of the results, considering the quality and reliability of the data obtained. | — |
