Abstract:
In this paper, the register state, regular therapy rate and sputum conversion rate for outpatients have been analysed. 30.5% of outpatients from other region were not registered. In these patients, regular therapy rate and sputum conversion rate were 10.9% and 53.7%, respectively. Comparing with above data, there were 97.3% and 96.8% for above 2 parameters in outpatients of Changhun region, 40.2% and 61.7% in outpatients of other region with register, under the management or control by hospital.

Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
