Retrospective analysis found DLco testing rarely influences clinical management in children, indicating need for refined indications and more prospective studies.
DLco testing in children is technically challenging, with a high proportion of tests failing quality standards. Abnormal results were rare and did not impact clinical management. These findings suggest limited routine utility for DLco in pediatric populations, underscoring the need for targeted indications and further prospective research.
