Quality improvement, standardisation of spirometry testing, and interpretation of results are critically important in the occupational setting. Every day we encounter several workers who are referred ...

Race-neutral equations for assessing lung function appeared to catch more true-abnormal findings for Black patients than did previously standard race-adjusted spirometry equations, a study showed.

Upon implementing race-neutral equations, there was a decrease in z scores among Black children for forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1; mean difference −0.814, 95% CI −0.823 to −0.806, P<0.001 ...

Home spirometry shows potential for early detection of pulmonary function decline in patients with systemic sclerosis–associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). It shows good cross-sectional ...

Increased arterial stiffness is a known predictor of cardiovascular diseases in different populations, including healthy subjects and patients with hypertension, diabetes, or renal disease. A new ...

Good technique is essential when undertaking spirometry tests, and correct interpretation of the results is important to avoid making an incorrect diagnosis. Lung function results are reported as ...

An inaccurate spirometer is worse than useless. But having an accurate one is not a matter of belief or faith; it is a matter of proof. Furthermore, this must be documented proof. Without a documented ...

Recent studies show that many patients are being treated for COPD without confirmatory spirometry. In-office testing is easy and available. A recent study showed that only 32% of patients admitted to ...
