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.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and/or preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) have an increased risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality, highlighting the need ...

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 ...

Abstract: Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) is a pulmonary function pattern characterized by a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) to forced vital capacity ratio greater than 0.70, ...

The guideline-recommended FEV1:FVC value of less than 0.70 is the optimal cutoff for the diagnosis of clinically significant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), researchers say. The study, ...

A significant percentage of Black men found to have normal lung function after race-based adjustments to spirometry were actually found to have emphysema on their computed tomography (CT) scans, ...

The results of spirometry test can be interpreted to provide valuable information about the function of the lungs and respiratory system and guide diagnostic and treatment decisions. There are various ...
