Spirometry results in children were different after switching to race-neutral reference equations -- with the potential to change how chronic lung diseases that are more prevalent in underrepresented ...

Widely used lung function tests often fail to detect lung disease in Black patients, according to research — and experts are calling for new methods of testing. Spirometry, the most common lung ...

Race-neutral equations for assessing lung function appeared to catch more true-abnormal findings for Black patients than did previously standard race-adjusted spirometry equations, a study showed.

Emphysema is missed more often in Black Americans than in White Americans, and now researchers report they have figured out why. The investigators found that many Black men who were considered to have ...

A significant percentage of Black men found to have normal lung function after race-based adjustments to spirometry were actually found to have emphysema on their computed tomography (CT) scans, ...

A lung function test used to help diagnose asthma works better in the morning, becoming less reliable throughout the day, researchers have found. Using real world data from 1,600 patients, available ...

When I lived in Philadelphia, I had an allergist who would often give me lung function tests to assess my asthma-related difficulties. The test always registered as normal, even when I was clearly ...
