Lung function reference values in Singaporean children aged 6-18 years.
BACKGROUND A study was undertaken to produce reference values of lung function in Chinese children and a means of calculating adjusted standard deviation scores of lung function for Malay and Indian ethnic groups. METHODS A cross sectional study of lung function (forced expiratory volume in one second and forced vital capacity) measured with a Jaeger spirometer was performed in a representati...
متن کامل[Lung function reference values in children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years in Galicia].
OBJECTIVE It is well known that lung function reference values differ between populations, hence the apparent importance of establishing such values. The aim of this study was to develop prediction equations for spirometry for healthy children and adolescents in Galicia, Spain. POPULATION AND METHODS We studied children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years from randomly selected schools in 14 m...
متن کاملZ-Score Reference Values for Height in Turkish Children Aged 6 to 18 Years
OBJECTIVE Standard deviation score or Z-score reference charts are used in some countries in preference to percentile charts and are considered as better tools in assessing children with measurements outside the accepted limits of normality. Growth data for Istanbul children have previously been reported as percentiles; hence, the aim of this study is to present these data in Z-score reference ...
متن کاملSpirometric reference values for Malagasy adults aged 18-73 years.
The American Thoracic Society (ATS) and European Respiratory Society (ERS) recommend that spirometry prediction equations be derived from samples of similar race/ethnicity. Malagasy prediction equations do not exist. The objectives of this study were to establish prediction equations for healthy Malagasy adults, and then compare Malagasy measurements with published prediction equations. We enro...
متن کاملReference values for forced expiration parameters in Bulgarian children and adolescents aged 7 to 18 years.
INTRODUCTION A diagnosis of lung function impairment in childhood is highly dependent on the respective reference values. Population differences in the pulmonary function of children have been frequently reported. The AIM of this study was to derive normal spirometric reference values for Bulgarian children and adolescents and to compare these results with other data set including our own refer...
