Their study looked at differences in spirometry results and patterns after transitioning from Global Lung Function Initiative race-specific reference equations (GLIR, 2012) to Global Lung Function ...

Understanding the patterns of spirometry use across geographic regions in patients with newly diagnosed COPD may help to identify the factors associated with the use of spirometry and to improve ...

The likelihood for airway obstruction in a 10-year follow-up visit was heightened among current smokers, former smokers and individuals with preserved ratio impaired spirometry, according to ...

Specifically, if our hypothesis were to be correct and spirometry testing did help people quit smoking, public health authorities would have a basis on which to promote this strategy, as it would ...
