The UK Quality and Outcomes Framework pay-for-performance scheme and spirometry: rewarding quality or just quantity? A cross-sectional study in Rotherham, UK [PDF]

BMC Health Services Research, 2009
Background Accurate spirometry is important in the management of COPD. The UK Quality and Outcomes Framework pay-for-performance scheme for general practitioners includes spirometry related indicators within its COPD domain.

Spirometry reference equations for central European populations from school age to old age. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundSpirometry reference values are important for the interpretation of spirometry results. Reference values should be updated regularly, derived from a population as similar to the population for which they are to be used and span across all ages.

Spirometry: national guidelines for the testing and interpretation of results Interregional Public Organization “Russian Respiratory Society” All-Russian Public Organization “Russian Association of Specialists in Functional Diagnostics” All-Russian Public Organization “Russian Scientific Medical Soc

PULMONOLOGIYA, 2023
Spirometry is the most common method to assess respiratory function. It is widely used to obtain objective information for the diagnosis of respiratory diseases and monitoring the functional state of the respiratory system.

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.

Association Between Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry and Clinical Outcomes in US Adults.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2021
Importance Chronic lung diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Unlike chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, clinical outcomes associated with proportional reductions in expiratory lung volumes without obstruction, otherwise known as ...

Risks of Mortality and Airflow Limitation in Japanese Individuals with Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2022
Rationale Several Western studies have reported that participants with preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) have higher risks of airflow limitation (AFL) and death. However, evidence in East Asian populations is limited.

Spirometry parameters used to define small airways obstruction in population-based studies: systematic review

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background The assessment of small airways obstruction (SAO) using spirometry is practiced in population-based studies. However, it is not clear what are the most used parameters and cut-offs to define abnormal results.

Spirometry at diagnosis and overall survival in non‐small cell lung cancer patients

Cancer Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 24, Page 4796-4805, December 2022., 2022
Lung function has been associated with in‐hospital mortality following lung cancer surgery but the predictive role of lung function in long‐term survival of NSCLC patients remains unclear. Our analyses, based on a large lung cancer cohort, revealed that NSCLC patients with lower spirometry function at diagnosis were associated with worse overall ...

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.
