Appraisal and extension of the ERS/ATS Interpretative Strategy for Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity

2026-01-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The ERS/ATS22 interpretative flowchart classifies diffusing capacity (DLco) into 5 scenarios with associated pathophysiology, and has not been tested on large patient groups. We aimed to obtain a more layered DLco interpretation, by interrogating DLco components Kco and V A , and by estimating lung inflation during the DLco test to identify the presence of restriction, which crucially impacts K...
