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.

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.

Mechanism of spirometry associated gastro-esophageal reflux in individuals undergoing esophageal assessment.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Persistent variability observed during spirometry, even when technical and personal factors are controlled, has prompted interest in uncovering its underlying mechanisms.

Prevalence and effects of gastro-oesophageal reflux during spirometry in subjects undergoing reflux assessment.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Variability during spirometry can persist despite control of technical and personal factors. We postulate spirometry induces gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR), which may cause variability and affect results of spirometry.

Millimetre‐wave radar‐based spirometry for the preliminary diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

IET Radar, Sonar & Navigation, 2023
Chronic respiratory diseases, especially chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Spirometry is regarded as the gold standard for the diagnosis of COPD. However, conventional spirometry requires expensive

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 ...

The Impact of an Electronic Health Record Intervention on Spirometry Completion in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

COPD, 2022
Spirometry is necessary to diagnose chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), yet a large proportion of patients are diagnosed and treated without having received testing.

How Accurate Is the Diagnosis of “Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease” in Patients Hospitalized with an Acute Exacerbation?

Medicina, 2023
Rationale: COPD diagnosis requires relevant symptoms and an FEV1/FVC ratio of 0.7), and those who have never performed spirometry. Results: A total of 1138 patients with a recorded diagnosis of COPD were identified of which 233 patients were included in

Spirometry practice and the impact of a phase 1 training workshop among health workers in southern Nigeria: a cross-sectional study

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2020
Background Global standards require that spirometry should be performed by trained and experienced personnel, who would be able to assess the correct performance of tests by patients and assure good quality of the result. The complete achievement of this
