Individuals with impaired lung function trajectories experience a higher burden of respiratory symptoms, including wheeze and ...

Following use of race-neutral lung function equations, African American and Latino pediatric patients with asthma had reductions in FEV1 and FVC while white patients with asthma had increases, ...

Sleeve gastrectomy also significantly improves respiratory function and physical activity of individuals with obesity, as ...

This model indicated that a patient with a lower MMEF% pred, higher FEV1/FVC ratio, FVC% pred and normal BMI would be more likely to be diagnosed with CVA. We did not complete the external ...

An expense ratio is a measure of how much it costs to operate a mutual fund or ETF, expressed as a percentage of the fund's net assets Lower expense ratios indicate a more cost-effective ...

1 Overall, mean ± SD of FVC was 41.6 ± 31.0%, FEV1 was 42.0 ± 30.0%, and FEV1/FVC was 95.8 ± 18.3%. Spirometry parameters varied among the 3 institutions, as follows. 1 Other parameters were ...

Around 20% to 25% of individuals with rapidly declining FEV 1 /FVC trajectories experienced wheezing and usual phlegm/bronchitis as adolescents/young adults, according to results published in The ...

The association of each childhood factor with adult FEV 1 and FVC was analysed using generalised estimating equation (GEE) models, allowing for dependency between two lung function measurements of the ...

Traditionally, GOLD defines airflow obstruction as a fixed FEV1/FVC ratio <0.7. However, lung function naturally declines with age, making this fixed threshold prone to misclassification, particularly ...

To diagnose chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), doctors typically use spirometry to measure your lung function. They usually also perform other tests to monitor the damage to your lungs ...
