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]
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.

Feasibility, quality and added value of unsupervised at-home spirometry in primary care [PDF]
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.

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 association between spirometry measurement quality, cognitive function, and mortality [PDF]
Background Population studies that assess lung function usually exclude results of individuals with poor-quality measurements, which often means excluding many subjects.

Comparison of respiratory muscle activities and cardiovascular function during different breathing types in healthy adults: Costal breathing, flow incentive spirometry, and volume incentive spirometry. [PDF]
BackgroundVarious breathing exercises are used to enhance lung function. However, many patients have reported experiencing breathlessness and an increased work of breathing during their use, but evidence supporting this is limited.
