Use of Symptoms Scores, Spirometry, and Other Pulmonary Function Testing for Asthma Monitoring
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019 Asthma is a global problem affecting millions of people all over the world. Monitoring of asthma both in children and in adulthood is an indispensable tool for the optimal disease management and for the maintenance of clinical stability. To date, several

Quantification of heterogeneity in lung disease with image-based pulmonary function testing
Scientific Reports, 2016 Computed tomography (CT) and spirometry are the mainstays of clinical pulmonary assessment. Spirometry is effort dependent and only provides a single global measure that is insensitive for regional disease and as such, poor for capturing the early onset ...

Trends in Pulmonary Function Testing Before Noncardiothoracic Surgery.
JAMA Internal Medicine, 2015 Trends in Pulmonary Function Testing Before Noncardiothoracic Surgery Preoperative pulmonary function tests (PFTs) assess the severity of known pulmonary disease, diagnose causes of respiratory symptoms, and may help identify patients who are at risk for

Medicine, 2012 Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) include the measurement of velocity and volume of expiratory flow (spirometry), static volumes (lung volumes), diffusion of gases across the alveolar-capillary membrane (diffusion capacity), and respiratory muscle strength.
