Discordance in Spirometric Interpretations Based on Korean and Non-Korean Reference Equations

OBJECTIVES Korean regression models for spirometric reference values are different from those of other ethnic groups. The purpose of this study was to evaluate discordance in spirometric interpretations based on using Korean reference equations versus non-Korean reference equations. METHODS Spirometry was performed on 825 Korean male workers from April 2009 to November 2011. The spirometric p...

The effect of applying ethnicity-specific spirometric reference equations to Asian migrant workers in Korea

OBJECTIVES Asian migrant workers in Korea have various ethnicities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference in spirometric interpretation made using the set of third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) reference equations and the relevant ethnicity-specific reference sets. METHODS Spirometry was performed on 166 migrant and 498 Korean male workers be...

Predictive Equations Using Regression Analysis of Pulmonary Function for Healthy Children in Northeast China

BACKGROUND There have been few published studies on spirometric reference values for healthy children in China. We hypothesize that there would have been changes in lung function that would not have been precisely predicted by the existing spirometric reference equations. The objective of the study was to develop more accurate predictive equations for spirometric reference values for children a...

Spirometric Standards for Healthy Children and Adolescents of Korean Chinese in Northeast China

In China there are 1,923,842 Korean Chinese, who live mostly (92.27%) in the country's three northeast provinces. In spite of this sizeable number, no spirometric data are available at present on them. The present study investigated normal spirometric reference values for the Korean Chinese children and adolescents. Spirometry was performed in 443 healthy Korean Chinese children and adolescents...

Application of a New Spirometric Reference Equation and Its Impact on the Staging of Korean Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients

PURPOSE A new spirometric reference equation was recently developed from the first national chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) survey in Korea. However, Morris' equation has been preferred for evaluating spirometric values instead. The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in severity staging in Korean COPD patients by adopting the newly developed Korean equation. MATERIAL...
