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.

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.

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