Background Small airways play a major role in the pathogenesis and prognosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. More data on small airway dysfunction (SAD) using spirometry and impulse oscillometry (IOS) in these populations are ...

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

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.

Trajectory of Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry: Natural History and Long-Term Prognosis.
RATIONALE Natural history of Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry (PRISm), often defined as FEV1/FVC≥lower limit of normal and ...

Variability during spirometry can persist despite control of technical and personal factors. We postulate spirometry induces gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR), which may cause variability and affect results of spirometry.

HERMES Spirometry: the European Spirometry Driving Licence [PDF]
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 ...

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.

Chronic respiratory diseases, especially chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Spirometry is regarded as the gold standard for the diagnosis of COPD. However, conventional spirometry requires expensive

The effects of inspiratory muscle training in older adults [PDF]
Purpose: Declining inspiratory muscle function and structure and systemic low-level inflammation and oxidative stress may contribute to morbidity and mortality during normal ageing.
