A Psychometric Evaluation of Maximum Phonation Time and S/Z Ratio as Pragmatic Outcome Measures of Bulbar Function in Adults With Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims A pragmatic evaluation of bulbar function among adults with spinal muscular atrophy (awSMA) is needed, requiring the validation of a low‐cost, feasible outcome measure (OM). Maximum phonation time (MPT) and S/Z ratio (S/Z) are potential low‐cost OMs for bulbar function. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties

Clinical Significance of Bronchodilator Responsiveness Evaluated by Forced Vital Capacity in COPD: SPIROMICS Cohort Analysis. [PDF]

, 2019
ObjectiveBronchodilator responsiveness (BDR) is prevalent in COPD, but its clinical implications remain unclear. We explored the significance of BDR, defined by post-bronchodilator change in FEV1 (BDRFEV1) as a measure reflecting the change in flow and ...
