Rationale While American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS)
quality control criteria for spirometry include several quantitative limits, it also requires …

Background Spirometry quality assurance is a challenging task across levels of healthcare
tiers, especially in primary care. Deep learning may serve as a support tool for enhancing …

Rationale Acquiring high-quality spirometry data in clinical trials is important, particularly
when using forced expiratory volume in 1 s or forced vital capacity as primary end-points. In …

We hypothesized that the implementation of automatic real-time assessment of quality of
forced spirometry (FS) may significantly enhance the potential for extensive deployment of a …

Spirometer is used as a major diagnostic tool for obstructive airway diseases and a
monitoring tool for therapy response and disease staging over time. It is a sophisticated …

Forced spirometry testing is gradually becoming available across different healthcare tiers
including primary care. It has been demonstrated in earlier work that commercially available …

Background: Spirometry is the most common pulmonary function test. It is widely used in the
assessment of lung function to provide objective information used in the diagnosis of lung …

BACKGROUND: Spirometry is an apparently simple test, yet the recommended criteria for
acceptability and reproducibility can be difficult to fulfill. This study aimed (1) to prospectively …

The American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society commissioned a task
force to update the technical standards for spirometry testing with the aim of increasing the …

Spirometry is one of the most basic of pulmonary function tests, and the measurements of
this test, such as forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in the first second, and peak …
