Spirometry test There is significant disparity in the ratios for postbronchodilator FEV1/FEV6 and FEV1/FVC %, and this disparity is very pronounced in women. Disclosure: One study author declared ...

Researchers say that using the lower limit of normal (LLN) of the forced expiration volume in 1 second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio improves risk stratification in patients with chronic ...

Race-neutral equations for assessing lung function appeared to catch more true-abnormal findings for Black patients than did previously standard race-adjusted spirometry equations, a study showed.

The results of spirometry test can be interpreted to provide valuable information about the function of the lungs and respiratory system and guide diagnostic and treatment decisions. There are various ...
