Forced vital capacity of healthy Iranian adults in Tehran [PDF]

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Background The global prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases is increasing, necessitating accurate lung function assessment. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is an important spirometric indicator of respiratory health.

Mapping EQ5D utilities from forced vital capacity and diffusing capacity in fibrotic interstitial lung disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
ObjectivesFibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) includes a large group of conditions that lead to scarring of the lungs. The lack of available 5-level EuroQol 5D (EQ5D) data has limited the ability to conduct economic evaluations in ILD.

Joint modeling of forced vital capacity measures with time to onset of polycythemia among chronic obstructive pulmonary outpatients follows‐up: A case of University of Gondar Referral Hospital [PDF]

Health Science Reports, 2023
Background and Aims Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) causes airflow obstruction and respiratory problems. Thus, the main objective of this study was to determine the risk factors for the progression of COPD using longitudinally measured ...

Association of Forced Vital Capacity with the Developmental Gene NCOR2. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
BackgroundForced Vital Capacity (FVC) is an important predictor of all-cause mortality in the absence of chronic respiratory conditions. Epidemiological evidence highlights the role of early life factors on adult FVC, pointing to environmental exposures ...

The Puzzle of Marijuana Use and Forced Vital Capacity. [PDF]

Ann Am Thorac Soc
In study after study, marijuana use has been found to be associated with increased forced vital capacity (FVC). This is puzzling, because marijuana is commonly consumed by inhalation of its smoke, and smoke exposure of any kind is not generally considered a cause of increased FVC.

Forced vital capacity as a survival predictor in systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary hypertension [PDF]

Therapeutic Advances in Musculoskeletal Disease
Background: Pulmonary hypertension associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc-PH) carries a significant risk of mortality. Although interstitial lung disease (ILD) often coexists with SSc-PH, its impact on prognosis varies considerably depending on disease ...

Spirometry-Defined Restriction Modifies the Association between Forced Vital Capacity and Bronchiectasis Exacerbation [PDF]

Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases
Background Obstructive ventilatory defect (OVD) is the most common ventilatory pattern in bronchiectasis, with low forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), which is a well-known risk factor for acute exacerbation (AE).

Reference Values of Forced Vital Capacity and Expiratory Flow in High-Level Cyclists [PDF]

Life, 2021
Several studies have demonstrated that spirometric theoretical values may not be applicable to the high-level sports population. No reference values exist for high-level professional cyclists.
