New Spirometry Indices for Detecting Mild Airflow Obstruction. [PDF]
, 2018 The diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) relies on demonstration of airflow obstruction. Traditional spirometric indices miss a number of subjects with respiratory symptoms or structural lung disease on imaging.
