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 ...

متن کاملEvaluation of symptoms & spirometry in children treated for asthma
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Spirometry plays an important role in the assessment and long term monitoring of patients with asthma.

This study was undertaken to assess the clinical improvement and changes in spirometric measurements with tr...
متن کاملConfirmatory spirometry for adults hospitalized with a diagnosis of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation
BACKGROUND Objective measurement of airflow obstruction by spirometry is an essential part of the diagnosis of asthma or COPD. During exacerbations, the feasibility and utility of spirometry to confirm the diagnosis of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are unclear. Addressing these gaps in knowledge may help define the need for confirmatory testing in clinical care and qual...
