Many children continue to experience respiratory symptoms up to 14 years after treatment for protracted bacterial bronchitis, ...
For white patients, 15.0% had either their FEV 1 or FVC recategorized from abnormal under the race-adjusted equations to normal using the race-neutral equation. Their FEV 1 decline was similar to ...
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 ...
Spirometry results in children were different after switching to race-neutral reference equations ... 95% CI 0.349-0.355, P<0.001) and FVC (mean difference 0.350, 95% CI 0.347-0.354, ...
With just chest X-rays, an AI model estimated FVC and FEV1 and had “excellent agreement” when compared with spirometry results, according to results published in The Lancet Digital Health ...
Spirometry results will be considered within the normal range if FEV1/FVC > 70% (absolute value) and FVC and FEV1 > 80% of the predicted values. The pattern is classified as obstructive if FEV1 ...
Following use of race-neutral vs. -specific lung function equations, spirometry findings and patterns differed, especially among Black children/adolescents, according to results published in JAMA ...
The researchers identified 3,716 (3,474 self- identified white and 242 self-identified Black) individuals with a baseline spirometry evaluation demonstrating an FEV1/FVC ratio <0.7 for inclusion ...
Spirometry is often used as a diagnostic tool for respiratory conditions such as asthma, ... (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and peak expiratory flow (PEF).
They completed a median 3.0 sets of spirometry over a median 2.6 years of follow-up. The study didn't show a similar trajectory for FVC as for FEV 1 among Black patients.
