    A new graphic format visually displays pulmonary function test results using bar graphs. This method aids in quickly identifying abnormal values and patterns indicative of lung diseases like obstruction or restriction.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Medical Informatics
    • Data Visualization

    Background:

    • Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are crucial for diagnosing lung diseases.
    • Interpreting PFT results can be complex and time-consuming.
    • Standardized reporting formats are needed for efficient clinical use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an innovative graphic format for displaying PFT results.
    • To create a system for rapid identification of abnormal PFT values.
    • To facilitate the recognition of disease-specific patterns in PFT data.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a graphic display using horizontal bar graphs for PFT results.
    • Implemented a computer program to generate custom patient reports.
    • Programmed in BASIC for flexibility and broad compatibility with printers.

    Main Results:

    • Graphic format allows rapid recognition of abnormal individual test values.
    • Grouped bars create distinctive patterns for obstructive and restrictive lung disease.
    • Customized computer-generated forms eliminate the need for preprinted sheets.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed graphic format enhances the interpretation of pulmonary function test results.
    • This visual approach aids in the quick identification of lung abnormalities.
    • The flexible and simple computer program is easily implementable in clinical settings.
