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.

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.

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.

Application of Global Lung Function Initiative Global Spirometry Reference Equations across a Large, Multicenter Pulmonary Function Lab Population

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2023
Rationale Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) Global spirometry reference equations were recently derived to offer a “race-neutral” interpretation option. The impact of transitioning from the race-specific GLI-2012 to the GLI Global reference equations

Association of preserved ratio impaired spirometry with mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis

European Respiratory Review, 2023
Background: Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) is prevalent within the general population. Increased mortality has been reported among subjects with PRISm, but the evidence has never been summarised.

Adherence, reliability, and variability of home spirometry telemonitoring in cystic fibrosis

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
Introduction Forced spirometry is the gold standard to assess lung function, but its accessibility may be limited. By contrast, home spirometry telemonitoring allows a multi-weekly lung function follow-up but its real-life adherence, reliability, and ...

Impulse oscillometry indices in relation to respiratory symptoms and spirometry in the Swedish Cardiopulmonary Bioimage Study

ERJ Open Research, 2023
Background Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is sensitive in detecting lung function impairment. In small studies, impaired IOS relates better to respiratory symptoms than spirometry.

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.
