3.5 MBW outcomes before and after quality control
We determined whether performing quality control significantly
influenced MBW results in our subset of measurements. We found no
differences in LCI or FRC mean values or variability reported by the MBW
operator compared with the reviewer before and after real-time quality
control (Supplemental Table E2 and E3). Further, we assessed the impact
of accepting D grade trials with LCI and FRC values within 10% of an
acceptable trial on MBW outcomes and variability. We found no
significant differences in LCI, FRC, or outcome variability (LCI/FRC
coefficient of variation) between tests with and without accepting these
D trials (Supplemental Table E4).
