Prevalence and effects of gastro-oesophageal reflux during spirometry in subjects undergoing reflux assessment.

PLoS ONE, 2020
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.

Deep learning using multilayer perception improves the diagnostic acumen of spirometry: a single-centre Canadian study

BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2022
Rationale Spirometry and plethysmography are the gold standard pulmonary function tests (PFT) for diagnosis and management of lung disease. Due to the inaccessibility of plethysmography, spirometry is often used alone but this leads to missed or ...

HERMES Spirometry: the European Spirometry Driving Licence [PDF]

Breathe, 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 ...

Millimetre‐wave radar‐based spirometry for the preliminary diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

IET Radar, Sonar & Navigation, 2023
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

How Accurate Is the Diagnosis of “Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease” in Patients Hospitalized with an Acute Exacerbation?

Medicina, 2023
Rationale: COPD diagnosis requires relevant symptoms and an FEV1/FVC ratio of 0.7), and those who have never performed spirometry. Results: A total of 1138 patients with a recorded diagnosis of COPD were identified of which 233 patients were included in

Spirometry in children [PDF]

Primary Care Respiratory Journal, 2013
Respiratory disorders are responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality in children. Spirometry is a useful investigation for diagnosing and monitoring a variety of paediatric respiratory diseases, but it is underused by primary care physicians and paediatricians treating children with respiratory disease.

Reference values of impulse oscillometric lung function indices in adults of advanced age. [PDF]

, 2013
Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a non-demanding lung function test. Its diagnostic use may be particularly useful in patients of advanced age with physical or mental limitations unable to perform spirometry.

Spirometry practice and the impact of a phase 1 training workshop among health workers in southern Nigeria: a cross-sectional study

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2020
Background Global standards require that spirometry should be performed by trained and experienced personnel, who would be able to assess the correct performance of tests by patients and assure good quality of the result. The complete achievement of this
