Peak expiratory flow rate nomogram in Libyan schoolchildren
Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal, 1999 The study aimed to develop a peak expiratory flow rate nomogram for Libyan children. Of 900 children randomly selected from four Tripoli primary schools, 670 [330 girls and 340 boys]with age range 4.5-14.9 years, fulfilled the selection criteria. Peak expiratory flow rate [PEFR]was recorded in a standing position using a mini-Wright peak flow meter ...
