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.

Prevalence, patterns and factors associated with spirometry abnormalities among children and adolescents with sickle cell disease in northern and eastern Uganda: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
Frontiers in PediatricsBackgroundAbnormal spirometry indices are known to be early markers of long-term respiratory dysfunction in the sickle cell disease (SCD) population. In Sub-Saharan Africa, however, evidence remains scarce.

Screening opportunity gap in COPD evaluation after low-dose CT findings: implications for risk-based spirometry in primary care [PDF]
BMC Pulmonary MedicineBackground Low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) frequently detects findings suggestive of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the pathway from CT detection to physiological confirmation remains poorly characterized in real-world ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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
