Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) is associated with an increased mortality risk, researchers reported in the ...

Individuals with early-onset COPD and rapidly progressive pre-COPD frequently have a decades-long history of impaired ...

Spirometry is a standard test doctors use to ... It measures the total amount you were able to exhale, called the forced vital capacity (FVC). The test also measures how much you exhaled in ...

Researchers have discovered that single-phase CT scans along with clinical data can achieve accuracy equivalent to dual-phase ...

Study shows muscle-to-fat ratio impacts lung function and airflow obstruction risk in adults, emphasising the importance of ...

Participants with longitudinal spirometry data had reduced lung function at baseline, compared with those who performed spirometry on only one occasion: mean (SD) FEV z-score −0.48 (1.03) vs -0.22 ...

As far as we know, PREPOCOL is the first probabilistic population study done in Colombia and the second in Latin America [15] that use a spirometric definition (postbronchodilator FEV 1 /FVC < 70% ...

Background Decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) over time reliably predicts mortality in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The use of this measure in clinical practice is recommended by ...

Methods: Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured by a maximal treadmill test (MTT), and respiratory function was tested by spirometry. The cross sectional study included data ... and forced vital ...

Conclusions: The results show that monitoring of longitudinal spirometry data precision (1) allows that data precision can be improved ... ATS, American Thoracic Society COPD, chronic obstructive ...
