Adherence, reliability, and variability of home spirometry telemonitoring in cystic fibrosis [PDF]

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
IntroductionForced spirometry is the gold standard to assess lung function, but its accessibility may be limited. By contrast, home spirometry telemonitoring allows a multi-weekly lung function follow-up but its real-life adherence, reliability, and ...

Unsupervised home spirometry versus supervised clinic spirometry for respiratory disease: a systematic methodology review and meta-analysis [PDF]

European Respiratory Review, 2023
Background: The number of patients completing unsupervised home spirometry has recently increased due to more widely available portable technology and the COVID-19 pandemic, despite a lack of solid evidence to support it.

Home spirometry appears accurate and feasible for monitoring chronic respiratory disease [PDF]

ERJ Open Research
Spirometry is underutilised and can be difficult to access. This study assessed the accuracy and feasibility of home spirometry compared to gold standard. Findings suggest home spirometry is accurate and feasible across many respiratory disease groups. https://bit.ly/42TLoYd.

Patient perspectives on home-spirometry in interstitial lung disease: a qualitative co-designed study [PDF]

BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2023
Background Opportunities for home-monitoring are increasing exponentially. Home- spirometry is reproducible and reliable in interstitial lung disease (ILD), yet patients’ experiences are not reported.

Feasibility, quality and added value of unsupervised at-home spirometry in primary care [PDF]

npj Primary Care Respiratory Medicine
At-home spirometry could provide added value for the diagnosis and monitoring of obstructive pulmonary disease in primary care. However, it is unknown whether implementation in a real-world setting is practicable and produces good quality spirometry.

Home Spirometry for Post-COVID Recovery: A Clinical Validation Study of an Ultrasonic Device [PDF]

Diagnostics
Background/Objectives: Patients recovering from COVID-19 often experience persistent respiratory symptoms, necessitating pulmonary function monitoring. While clinical spirometry is the gold standard, home spirometry offers a remote alternative.

The Feasibility and Validity of Home Spirometry for People with Cystic Fibrosis: Is It Comparable to Spirometry in the Clinic? [PDF]

Children
Background/Objectives: Home spirometry allows people with cystic fibrosis (CF) to monitor their lung function from home. However, there are concerns about its feasibility and validity compared to traditional clinic spirometry.
