Prediction equations for spirometry in adults from northern India.

BACKGROUND Most of the Indian studies on prediction equations for spirometry in adults are several decades old and may have lost their utility as these were carried out with equipment and standardisation protocols that have since changed. Their validity is further questionable as the lung health of the population is likely to have changed over time. OBJECTIVE To develop prediction equations f...

Regression equations for spirometry in children aged 6 to 17 years in Delhi region.

BACKGROUND Most of the studies carried out in India to develop regression equations for spirometry in children are now several years-to-decades old and had used equipment and measurement protocols that have since changed. Prediction equations using the current standardisation protocols for spirometry are not available. The lung health of the population may have changed too. OBJECTIVE To devel...

Guideline for office spirometry in adults, 2004.

OBJECTIVE To provide clinical guidelines for office spirometry in South Africa. OPTIONS More stringent guidelines are required for diagnostic laboratories and research. OUTCOMES To minimise variations in standard practice and improve the quality and usefulness of spirometry in the clinical setting. EVIDENCE Recommendations are based on key international publications as well as research pu...
