Pulmonary Function Tests

Pulmonary Function Tests

Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs)
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.
PFTs involve using a spirometer, a...

Background:

The Bronchial Provocation Test (BPT) is the standard for diagnosing airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), but it is time-consuming and resource-intensive.
There is a need for more efficient screening methods for AHR in patients with suspected asthma.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the predictive potential of baseline pulmonary function parameters, particularly small airway indices, for AHR.
To develop and validate a machine learning-based model for predicting AHR to enhance screening efficiency and reduce unnecessary BPT referrals.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of pulmonary function data and BPT results from Henan Provincial People's Hospital.
Data split into training and validation sets; LASSO regression used for variable selection.
10-fold cross-validation and logistic regression model construction with a nomogram.

Main Results:

An optimal model (Model C) incorporating FEV1/FVC%, MEF75%, PEF%, and MMEF75-25% demonstrated strong discriminative capacity (AUC training: 0.790, AUC validation: 0.756).
Model C showed superior predictive performance and clinical utility, with good calibration and significant Net Reclassification Improvement (NRI) and Integrated Discrimination Improvement (IDI).

Conclusions:

MEF75%, MMEF75-25%, FEV1/FVC%, and PEF% are effective predictors of early AHR in suspected asthma.
The developed machine learning model shows strong performance and clinical utility for early AHR detection, potentially reducing symptom exacerbation and lung function decline.
