Adopting universal lung function reference equations.
Since the dawn of spirometry and testing lung function [1, 2], clinicians have been aware that the values obtained from testing an individual’s lung function can reflect the effects of lung diseases, and that this can be helpful with regard to all aspects of disease prevention and management. It was also recognised that the values obtained were also a reflection of the subject’s sex, age and he...
متن کاملEffects of adopting the new global lung function initiative 2012 reference equations on the interpretation of spirometry.
BACKGROUND The recently generated spirometry reference equations from the Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI2012) provide a long-awaited opportunity for the adoption of a globally applicable set of normal reference values. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to document the likely interpretative effects of changing from commonly used current spirometry reference equations to the GLI2012 equ...
متن کاملLung function reference values in Iranian adolescents.
There is insufficient information about reference values for pulmonary volumes for Iranian populations. A study of lung function parameters was made on 302 non-smoking healthy Iranian students (152 male and 150 female). Lung function measures correlated strongly with height but not with body mass index. There were significant differences between some of the measured parameters and American Thor...
متن کاملStitching and switching: the impact of discontinuous lung function reference equations.
In order to distinguish the effects of lung disease from those of normal growth and development, lung function is expressed in comparison with reference data, with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) commonly being presented as % predicted. FEV1 % pred has been identified as being of prognostic value in cystic fibrosis (CF), such that an FEV1 of ,30% pred or rapid decline to that level shoul...
متن کاملReference equations for lung function screening of healthy never-smoking adults aged 18-80 years.
The need for updated spirometric reference values to be used on European populations is widely acknowledged, especially for subjects aged >70 yrs. Their reference values are generally based on extrapolations. The aim of the present study was to calculate reference values for lung function screening of healthy, never-smoking adults aged 18-80 yrs and to compare them with the most widely used ref...
