Objective: To analyze FBV_1/FVC variation in healthy persons,and to evaluate the availability and credibility of using FEV_1/FVC70 % for initial diagnosis and assessing the severity of chronic obstructive lung disease(COPD),which based on the guideline of global initiative for chronic obstructive...
FEV 1/FVC increased slightly in moderate degree and significantly in severe degree due to being influcenced disproportionately by FEV 1 and FVC.Conclusion FEV 1/FVC is a better index in judging whether or not the patient has airflow obstruction in order to diagnose COPD,while FEV 1% is a ...
One of the most basic and relied-upon methods to assess the severity and rate of progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is spirometry. In 1977 Fletcher and Peto described what is now the dogma of smoking-related lung injury (1). After attaining maximal lung function in ...
