Discordant Spirometry and Impulse Oscillometry Assessments in the Diagnosis of Small Airway Dysfunction

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Background and objective: Spirometry is commonly used to assess small airway dysfunction (SAD). Impulse oscillometry (IOS) can complement spirometry. However, discordant spirometry and IOS in the diagnosis of SAD were not uncommon.

Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry in a Spirometry Database [PDF]

open access: yesRespiratory Care, 2020
BACKGROUND: Spirometry results can yield a diagnosis of normal air flow, air flow obstruction, or preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm), defined as a reduced FEV1 or FVC in the setting of preserved FEV1/FVC.

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

open access: yesEuropean 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.

A review of the challenges, learnings and future directions of home handheld spirometry in interstitial lung disease

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2022
Background Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) require regular physician visits and referral to specialist ILD clinics. Difficulties or delays in accessing care can limit opportunities to monitor disease trajectory and response to treatment ...

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

open access: yesChildren
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.

Preserved ratio impaired spirometry, airflow obstruction, and their trajectories in relationship to chronic kidney disease: a prospective cohort study [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Spirometry findings, such as restrictive spirometry and airflow obstruction, are associated with renal outcomes. Effects of spirometry findings such as preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) and its trajectories on renal outcomes are unclear.

The Long-Term Uptake of Home Spirometry in Regular Cystic Fibrosis Care: Retrospective Multicenter Observational Study

open access: yesJournal of Medical Internet Research
BackgroundHome spirometers have been widely implemented in the treatment of people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Frequent spirometry measurements at home could lead to earlier detection of exacerbations.
