Small Airways Dysfunction and Asthma Outcomes: Insights from Real-World Practice
Small airways dysfunction is increasingly recognised as an important contributor to poor asthma outcomes. This real-world study explores the relationship between oscillometry abnormalities, asthma control, and exacerbation risk, providing evidence that assessment of the small airways may help identify patients at greater risk of ongoing symptoms and future exacerbations.

Expert Perspectives: Making Oscillometry Meaningful in Clinical Practice
Join Prof Bruce Thompson, Dr Li Ping Chung, Clinical Prof Claude Farah and Prof Omar Usmani as they discuss the findings of the international Delphi study and what they mean for everyday practice. In this engaging panel discussion, the authors explore how oscillometry can support the assessment of small airways dysfunction, simplify interpretation, and complement traditional lung function testing in patients with asthma and COPD. Based on the findings of the Delphi consensus study.

From Research to Practice: Understanding Small Airways Dysfunction in Severe Asthma
In this author-led presentation, Dr Li Ping Chung walks through the SADWA study, highlighting key findings and their implications for clinical practice. Learn how oscillometry can uncover clinically relevant small airways dysfunction that may not be apparent on conventional assessments, and why evaluating the small airways may provide additional insight into asthma control and exacerbation risk.
