OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to assess the correlation between artificial intelligence (AI)-based low attenuation volume percentage (LAV%) with forced expiratory volume in the first second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) and visual emphysem...
No official clinical reference values have been established for MostGraph, which measures total respiratory resistance and reactance using the forced oscillation technique, complicating result interpretation. This study aimed to establish a reference...

BACKGROUND: Spirometry services to diagnose and monitor lung disease in primary care were identified as a priority in the NHS Long Term Plan, and are restarting post-COVID-19 pandemic in England; however, evidence regarding best practice is limited.
. The quality of spirometry manoeuvres is crucial for correctly interpreting the values of spirometry parameters. A fundamental guideline for proper quality assessment is the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS) Standa...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Current COPD diagnosis (i.e., spirometry) could be unreliable because the test depends on an adequate effort from the tester and testee. Moreover, the early...
Background Low-dose chest CT screening is recommended for smokers with the potential for lung function abnormality, but its role in predicting lung function remains unclear. Purpose To develop a deep learning algorithm to predict pulmonary function w...

BACKGROUND: Due to the similar symptoms of upper airway obstruction to asthma, misdiagnosis is common. Spirometry is a cost-effective screening test for upper airway obstruction and its characteristic patterns involving fixed, variable intrathoracic ...
To increase power and minimize bias in statistical analyses, quantitative outcomes are often adjusted for precision and confounding variables using standard regression approaches. The outcome is modeled as a linear function of the precision variables...
BACKGROUND: Spirometry quality assurance is a challenging task across levels of healthcare tiers, especially in primary care. Deep learning may serve as a support tool for enhancing spirometry quality. We aimed to develop a high accuracy and sensitiv...
