Diagnosis and management of asthma often relies mostly on symptoms because spirometry is not always reliable in some age groups, such as preschoolers. It is unclear whether impulse oscillometry (IOS) can supplement or replace spirometry. Available reports suggest that IOS has been applied with success in asthmatic children and adolescents to assess exacerbations, level of control, severity and response to treatment in the short and long term. Very few studies using adequate sample sizes and methods have been performed comparing the accuracy of IOS to spirometry for the diagnosis of asthma. Our systematic review found only four studies that met the eligibility criteria. However, no meta-analysis was possible with the available data. Consequently, this review helps to identify research gaps involving IOS, highlighting opportunities for future studies.

Article Synopsis
- COPD is a growing global health issue, with recent advancements in early detection and personalized treatment, highlighting the importance of monitoring early-stage disease for better prognosis.
- Research has identified critical areas in the lungs as initial sites of damage, and specific biomarkers may help track different disease progression patterns.
- New treatment strategies, including triple inhalation therapy and innovative medications, show promise in managing symptoms and improving patient outcomes in COPD, with ongoing research aimed at understanding disease variability.

: Exposure to particulate matter <2.5 μm (PM) is linked to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but most studies lack individual PM measurements. Seasonal variation and their impact on clinical outcomes remain understudied.

Importance: Objective measures of lung function are critical for assessing respiratory outcomes of prematurity. Among extremely low gestational age neonates (ELGANs) (< 29 weeks gestational age), high rates of neurodevelopmental impairment may interfere with lung function testing. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a noninvasive test of respiratory system mechanics not requiring forced expiration.

Objective/background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disease, which poses a significant health threat. Initial diagnostics with polygraphy or polysomnography are time consuming and expensive. Therefore, there is an unmet medical need for simplification, especially to exclude healthy patients from elaborate and unnecessary diagnostics.

Objective: Currently, there has been no gold standard for diagnosing small airway dysfunction (SAdf). This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between small airway parameters derived from spirometry and oscillometry in hospitalized patients, assessing the potential of oscillometry as an alternative diagnostic tool for SAdf. Additionally, this study explored the inconsistencies and influencing factors related to spirometry and oscillometry in diagnosing SAdf, conducting a preliminary assessment of these factors.
