FOT - Forced Oscillation Technique: Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) performed in addition to standard pulmonary function testing for the assessment of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Study summary
Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is a severe pulmonary complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This prospective study evaluates the usefulness of the Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) for the diagnosis, early detection, monitoring, and assessment of treatment response in patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT. FOT results will be compared with standard pulmonary function tests (spirometry, lung volumes, and DLCO).

Primary outcome measure(s)
Diagnostic accuracy of FOT for early detection of Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) — From allogeneic HSCT to 3 years after transplantation Diagnostic accuracy of FOT for early detection of BOS, assessed by sensitivity, specificity, and comparison with standard pulmonary function tests.
Correlation between standard pulmonary function tests and Forced Oscillatory Technique (FOT) in patients with or without BOS following allo HSCT in children and adults — From allogeneic HSCT to 3 years after transplantation Correlation between standard pulmonary function tests parameters (spirometry, static lung volumes and DLCO) and Forced Oscillatory Technique (FOT) measurements in patients with or without BOS following allogeneic HSCT in children and adults
Prevalence of small airway disease detected by FOT — From allogeneic HSCT to 3 years after transplantation Prevalence of small airway disease detected by FOT following allogeneic HSCT, specifically in pediatric and adult patients with normal spirometry
FOT measurements during follow-up and response to medical treatment — From allogeneic HSCT to 3 years after transplantation 4\. Changes in FOT measurements during follow up and response to medical treatment in these patients
