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

Frontiers 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]

Respiratory Care, 2021
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. Previous studies have estimated the prevalence of PRISm to be 7-12%.

The UK Quality and Outcomes Framework pay-for-performance scheme and spirometry: rewarding quality or just quantity? A cross-sectional study in Rotherham, UK [PDF]

BMC Health Services Research, 2009
Background Accurate spirometry is important in the management of COPD. The UK Quality and Outcomes Framework pay-for-performance scheme for general practitioners includes spirometry related indicators within its COPD domain.

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.

Spirometry reference equations for central European populations from school age to old age. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundSpirometry reference values are important for the interpretation of spirometry results. Reference values should be updated regularly, derived from a population as similar to the population for which they are to be used and span across all ages.

Use of spirometry as an objective tool in diagnosis and management of airway obstruction among patients diagnosed and treated with chronic obstructive lung disease or asthma

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2019
Background Spirometry is an important pulmonary function test that is used to evaluate patients complaining of respiratory problems. Spirometry is used to help in the diagnosis and follow-up of management of bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive lung ...

Home Spirometry in Children with Cystic Fibrosis

Bioengineering, 2023
We report the implementation of a pediatric home spirometry program at our institution. A respiratory therapist provided either a virtual or an in-person initiation visit that included a coached spirometry session.

Spirometry [PDF]

AAOHN Journal, 1997
Spirometry is the most widely used pulmonary function test. It is used for diagnosis and monitoring in a wide variety of obstructive and restrictive disease patterns. Spirometry is the primary measure in determining disability due to pulmonary disease, and is widely applied in the evaluation of bronchodilator response and airway hyperreactivity. A wide

Deep learning using multilayer perception improves the diagnostic acumen of spirometry: a single-centre Canadian study

BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2022
Rationale Spirometry and plethysmography are the gold standard pulmonary function tests (PFT) for diagnosis and management of lung disease. Due to the inaccessibility of plethysmography, spirometry is often used alone but this leads to missed or ...
