Home spirometry in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: data from the INMARK trial. [PDF]
BackgroundData from the INMARK trial were used to investigate the feasibility and validity of home spirometry as a measure of lung function decline in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).MethodsSubjects with IPF and preserved forced vital capacity (FVC) were randomised to receive nintedanib or placebo for 12 weeks followed by open-label ...

Telemedicine and home spirometry in cystic fibrosis: A prospective multicenter study
AbstractObjectivesTelehealth and home spirometry feasibility for children has been established, but their impact on cystic fibrosis (CF) disease progression remains unassessed. We aimed to evaluate the effects of telehealth and home spirometry on CF disease progression and care.MethodsChildren with CF aged 5–17 years from all Swedish CF centers were ...
