We introduce cutoff values for BDR of R5-20, R5-20%, and AX, and their repeatability indices and cutoff limits for significant between-visit changes. These IOS parameters may show greater variability than the conventional IOS indices during follow-up, but the between-visit agreement remains good, providing potentially useful endpoints for monitoring lung function in young children.
