Approximately half of the participants had >10% decline in PIF from standing to semi-upright. Patient characteristics exceeding the 0.10 absolute standardized difference threshold with the decline in PIF for both the R2 and R5 DPIs were waist-to-hip ratio, modified Medical Research Council dyspnea score, and postbronchodilator percentage predicted forced vital capacity and PIF by spirometry.
