International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, 2015 There are limited studies directly comparing correlation and agreement between peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) for severity classification of COPD. However, clarifying the role of PEFR as a surrogate of COPD severity classification instead of FEV1 is essential in situations and areas where spirometry is ...

British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1982 The difficulty in performing FEV1 in young children prompted us to assess whether PEFR could be used to measure the response to inhaled histamine. In 123 children with recurrent respiratory symptoms we found a highly significant correlation (r = 0.83, P less than 0.001) between the percentage fall from base-line of FEV1 and PEFR.

Normal values of forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume (FEV 1-0), and peak flow rate (PFR) in children. [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1968 The normal values in children for the forced vital capacity (FVC), the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEVI.,), and the peak flow rate (PFR) have been determined in a group of 261 healthy schoolchildren. Charts which allow the ready determination of these values have been presented.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Elevated C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels in systemic sclerosis (SSc) have been linked with severe disease and worse survival, but the role of platelet levels remains unclear. This study examined whether elevated platelet levels, CRP levels, or both are associated with disease severity, progression, and survival in SSc.
