New pulmonary function reference values for Quebec were developed. These Quebec standards are recommended for use in the Province of Quebec

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Physiology
  • Respiratory Medicine

Context:

  • Pulmonary function testing requires accurate reference values for interpreting results.
  • Existing North American and European reference values may not optimally represent the Quebec population.

Purpose:

  • To develop and validate new predictive equations for lung volumes and forced expiratory flow rates specific to the Quebec population.
  • To compare the performance of newly developed Quebec reference values against existing standards.

Summary:

  • Lung volumes, forced expiratory flow rates, and diffusing capacity were measured in 397 healthy Quebec adults.
  • New predictive equations (Quebec) were derived using linear regression based on age and height.
  • The Quebec equations and those by Miller and associates were found to best describe the Quebec situation, with a preference for Miller's due to ATS criteria alignment and inclusion of smokers.

Impact:

  • The study recommends the adoption of Quebec's pulmonary function standards in laboratories within the Province of Quebec.
  • This ensures more accurate interpretation of lung function tests for the local population.
