The aims of the study were: (1) to compare numerical parameters of specific airway resistance (total, sRaw(tot), effective, sRaw(eff) and at 0.5 L · s(-1), sRaw(0.5)) and indices obtained from the forced oscillation technique (FOT: resistance extrapolated at 0 Hz [Rrs(0 Hz)], mean resistance [Rrs(mean)], and resistance/frequency slope [Rrs(slope)]) and (2) to assess their relationships with dyspnea in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
