Asthma patients who have a last-to-first peak expiratory flow ratio less than one after three readings less than 10 seconds apart have a higher exacerbation rate than those with a ratio of one or greater. A ratio less than one means the bronchoconstriction has a greater inflammatory component...
peak flow test at work and outside work and then compare the readings. If the reading suggests that you have occupational asthma, your doctor will refer you to a occupational medicine specialist and/or ask you to take some tests to see if you are allergic to some of the common causes of...

Secondary endpoints included telephone diary data, morning and evening peak flow readings, asthma symptom scores, number and severity of asthma exacerbations, and the number of symptom-free days. 395/557 patients completed the study. The 250/100 fluticasone/formoterol combination inhaler was superior ...

assessed in this review) appear to be unreliable and should not be used: we were unable to identify the underlying calculation for most; numeric errors were present in those that we could verify and only one attempted to compensate for differences in readings from different peak flow meter ...
Barriers that affected self-efficacy included lack of office time to properly measure peak flow, inadequate staff or physician training, and poor follow-up to use PFM readings. Low outcome expectancy was mentioned in relation to poor patient compliance. Furthermore, patients were not always able ...
