Zuckerman College of Public Health, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USABackground: The choice between lower limit of normal or fixed value of forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity ratio (FEV1/FVC) < 0.70 as the criterion for confirming airway obstruction is an open ...
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of FEV6 and FEV1/FEV6 as surrogates for FVC and FEV1/FVC in the spirometric diagnosis of airway obstruction,and to determine the fixed cut-off point of FEV1/FEV6 which can be used as an alternative for FEV1/FVC70%.Methods Spirometry measurements were perfor...

OSA is characterized by recurrent episodes of upper airway partial or complete upper airway obstruction associated with recurrent oxyhemoglobin desaturations (intermittent hypoxia) and arousals (sleep fragmentation). It is caused by upper airway collapse during sleep and is characterized by frequent ...
