In CF patients, the FOT indices at 5 Hz and the novel, volume-adjusted parameter sGrs, reflect the extent of lung involvement and the underlying ventilation inhomogeneity in a way comparable to N2-MBW. Future research should explore the role of lower-frequency FOT in assessing the severity and monitoring the progression of CF lung disease.
