Abstract
Peak inspiratory flow is a non-invasive, quantitative parameter to evaluate the severity of UAO. Testing can be easily performed in a routine clinical setting, with a non-expensive hand-held device, and could help medical follow-up programmes and prevent emergency situations. However, FVL may be necessary for further assessment of UAO diseases. The CCQ confirms that exertional dyspnoea is the main symptom of UAO, but cough remains a common symptom.
