Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) is a treatable trait that impairs activities of daily living in adults living with asthma (alwA) and should therefore be detected early. We aimed to identify DH in alwA using the Glittre-ADL test (TGlittre) and, secondarily, to assess the association of DH with small airway dysfunction (SAD) and quality of life (QoL).

3. Discussion COPD is a heterogeneous disease in its clinical manifestation, progression, and lung lesions. It can be classified into four severities considering FEV1 (%predicted): mild (≥80%), moderate (50–79%), severe (30–49%), and very-severe (<30%) [2]. In addition, three main phenotypes are established, based on a single finding or through a combination of characteristics present in patients: COPD and asthma (ACO), exacerbator, and emphysema with hyperinflation.
