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 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.

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 Pediatrics
BackgroundAbnormal 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.

Applying spirometry phenotypes to a longitudinal cohort born very preterm [PDF]

BMJ Open Respiratory Research
Background To better characterise prematurity-associated lung disease, adult spirometry phenotype classifications (obstructive lung disease, preserved ratio impaired spirometry and dysanapsis) have been applied to children born preterm. It is unknown how

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

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.

Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry in a Spirometry Database [PDF]

Respiratory Care, 2020
BACKGROUND: Spirometry results can yield a diagnosis of normal air flow, air flow obstruction, or preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm), defined as a reduced FEV 1 or FVC in the setting of preserved FEV 1

Spirometry [PDF]

AAOHN Journal, 1997
Spirometry is the most widely used pulmonary function test. It is used for diagnosis and monitoring in a wide variety of obstructive and restrictive disease patterns. Spirometry is the primary measure in determining disability due to pulmonary disease, and is widely applied in the evaluation of bronchodilator response and airway hyperreactivity. A wide
