Abstract:
Spirometry is underutilised and can be difficult to access. This study assessed the accuracy and feasibility of home spirometry compared to gold standard. Findings suggest home spirometry is accurate and feasible across many respiratory disease groups. https://bit.ly/42TLoYd.

Medical History
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.
