Reference Values of Pulmonary Function Tests for Rural Canadians
Background: Pulmonary function tests are used routinely to evaluate patients with respiratory diseases and those who are at risk of developing respiratory diseases. Lung function prediction equations are generally developed for urban populations and whether these differ on rural population is not well studied. There is limited information on prediction equations for rural populations. Objective...
متن کاملReference values for lung function tests. I. Static volumes.
Static lung volume (LV) measurements have a number of clinical and research applications; however, no previous studies have provided reference values for such tests using a healthy sample of the adult Brazilian population. With this as our main purpose, we prospectively evaluated 100 non-smoking subjects (50 males and 50 females), 20 to 80 years old, randomly selected from more than 8,000 indiv...
متن کاملThe role of reference values in interpreting lung function tests.
The paper by GARCIA-RIO et al. [1] in this issue of the European Respiratory Journal provides good reference values for an under-represented population and an opportunity to review the role of reference values in interpreting lung function tests. The interpretation of all observed data involves comparisons with one or more types of reference data. In clinical medicine, the comparisons usually i...

Present study was aimed to assess the lung function of rural women exposed to biomass fumes during cooking. Methodology: Women from Agashivna...
متن کاملReference values of renal tubular function tests are dependent on age and kidney function
Electrolyte disorders due to tubular disorders are rare, and knowledge about validated clinical diagnostic tools such as tubular function tests is sparse. Reference values for tubular function tests are based on studies with small sample size in young healthy volunteers. Patients with tubular disorders, however, frequently are older and can have a compromised renal function. We therefore evalua...
