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.

Home Spirometry for Post-COVID Recovery: A Clinical Validation Study of an Ultrasonic Device [PDF]

Diagnostics
Background/Objectives: Patients recovering from COVID-19 often experience persistent respiratory symptoms, necessitating pulmonary function monitoring. While clinical spirometry is the gold standard, home spirometry offers a remote alternative.

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.

Oscillometry with or without spirometry for methacholine testing [PDF]

Physiological Reports
Oscillometry is proposed as a complementary technique to spirometry for methacholine testing. Yet, before being prescribed in conjunction with spirometry, the extent by which the oscillometric readouts are influenced by spirometric maneuvers, especially ...

Lung function decline and incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in participants with spirometry-defined small airway dysfunction: a 15-year prospective cohort study in China [PDF]

Respiratory Research
Background Small airway dysfunction (SAD) is common but little is known about the longitudinal prognosis of spirometry-defined SAD. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the risk of lung function decline and incident chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

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%.

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.
