Prediction of Abnormal Functional Performance in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Using Respiratory Models: A Pilot Study by Ribeiro CO, Lopes AJ, de Melo PL

“…Considering abnormal changes evaluated by the handgrip test as a reference, C (AUC=0.810) and G (AUC=0.786) obtained the highest predictive accuracies.Conclusion: Parameters obtained from the eRIC and the fractional order models are associated with non-normal exercise performance in COPD and may help predict poor functional performance in these patients.Keywords: respiratory system modeling, COPD, forced oscillation technique, respiratory oscillometry, Glittre-ADL, handgrip test…”
