متن کاملHome spirometry and asthma severity in children.
The usefulness of peak expiratory flow monitoring is disputed because of the unreliability of written peak flow diaries. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship of peak flow and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) variation to other estimates of asthma severity in children, using an electronic home spirometer with automatic data storage. Over a 3-month period, 36 ...
