Pulmonary function test was performed at the baseline and after the end of study period. Subjective symptom score was recorded in the form of asthma control questionnaire score. Results There was a significant
A pulmonary function test (PFT), or lung function test, is a non-invasive test that measures how well your lungs work. Several types of PFTs measure various aspects of lung function, including how well you move air in and out of your lungs, how much air your lungs can hold, and how ...
Findings In this cross-sectional study of 8431 Black and White individuals, the use of race-neutral reference equations for pulmonary function test interpretation, compared with the race-specific reference equations that are currently recommended, resulted in an increase in the percentage of Black indiv...
PFT = pulmonary function test. Beyond agreeing on a solution, we must educate the world to use PFT data more thoughtfully. We must examine critically systems that rely heavily on lung function thresholds in isolation through research that builds the evidence base for more holistic models, revised...

each subject completed a 2 minutes of rest and 2 minutes of unloaded cycling followed by a ramp-pattern exercise test to the symptom limited. Work rate was selected at a rate of 5–20 watts/minute based on a derived protocol formula according to the OCD scores25. TheV˙O2(ml/min)...
Additionally, immunoglobulin therapy can effectively improve pulmonary function test results and HRCT scores in patients with CVID with CLD [196]. Such improvement does not appear to reach significance in cases with CVID without CLD [196]. Given that the mortality of CVID increases with age, it ...
Test-retest reliability, interrater reliability (Spearman rho coefficients of 0.87 and 0.94, respectively), and internal consistency ([alpha] = .83) of the Index were acceptable. Index scores were not associated with changes in any other PFT results except residual volume, which incre...
Nearly 100 loci have been identified for pulmonary function, almost exclusively in studies of European ancestry populations. We extend previous research by meta-analyzing genome-wide association studies of 1000 Genomes imputed variants in relation to pul
The measurement of respiratory resistance is the most frequently chosen alternative lung function test in clinical practice in preschool-age children who are not able to do spirometry. The resistance of the airways is highly dependent on the airway caliber; therefore the measurement of resistance can...
