The influence of obesity on IOS parameters in asthma, COPD, and other lung diseases: analyzed by random forest

BMC Pulmonary Medicine

Table 3 Pairwise comparison of R₅%, R_5-20, and A_X in relation to the impact of obesity (body mass index) across disease classifications and its effect on IOS parameters (R₅%, R_5-20, A_X, Fres, and Diff-X₅). This table includes a comparison of our study’s findings with those from other available studies
