Clinical Implications of Having Reduced Mid Forced Expiratory Flow Rates (FEF25-75), Independently of FEV1, in Adult Patients with Asthma. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 INTRODUCTION:FEF25-75 is one of the standard results provided in spirometry reports; however, in adult asthmatics there is limited information on how this physiological measure relates to clinical or biological outcomes independently of the FEV1 or the ...

Peak flow rate in relation to forced expiratory volume in hemp workers [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1971 Žuskin, E., and Valic, F. (1971). Brit. J. industr. Med., 28, 159-163. Peak flow rate in relation to forced expiratory volume in hemp workers. Measurements of the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1·0 ) and the peak expiratory flow rate (PEF) were made in 99 non-smoking female hemp workers before and after the shift.
