Preserved ratio impaired spirometry is associated with small airway dysfunction and reduced total lung capacity

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2022
Background: Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) refers to decreased forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1 ) in the setting of preserved ratio.

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

open access: yesRespiratory 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.

Restricted spirometry and cardiometabolic comorbidities: results from the international population based BOLD study

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2022
Background Whether restricted spirometry, i.e. low Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), predicts chronic cardiometabolic disease is not definitely known. In this international population-based study, we assessed the relationship between restricted spirometry and

A review of the challenges, learnings and future directions of home handheld spirometry in interstitial lung disease

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2022
Background Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) require regular physician visits and referral to specialist ILD clinics. Difficulties or delays in accessing care can limit opportunities to monitor disease trajectory and response to treatment ...

Discordant Spirometry and Impulse Oscillometry Assessments in the Diagnosis of Small Airway Dysfunction

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

HERMES Spirometry: the European Spirometry Driving Licence [PDF]

open access: yesBreathe, 2011
Spirometry testing is the most widely practiced, most common and adaptable of all lung function tests and spirometers are used as a key instrument in the diagnosis of patients with respiratory disease [1]. As a leading cause of death worldwide responsible for some 9.4 million deaths [2], and further increases predicted by 2020, the management of lung ...

Standardization of Spirometry 2019 Update. An Official American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society Technical Statement

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2019
Background: Spirometry is the most common pulmonary function test. It is widely used in the assessment of lung function to provide objective information used in the diagnosis of lung diseases and monitoring lung health.

Home spirometry in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: data from the INMARK trial

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Journal, 2021
Background Data from the INMARK trial were used to investigate the feasibility and validity of home spirometry as a measure of lung function decline in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
