GLI-12 Reference Values versus Fixed 0.7 Ratio for the Detection of Airflow Obstruction in the Presence of Lung Hyperinflation

GLI-12 Reference Values versus Fixed 0.7 Ratio for the Detection of Airflow Obstruction in the Presence of Lung Hyperinflation

Introduction: Airflow obstruction (AO) is evidenced by reduced forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) with the threshold for diagnosis often being set at <0.7. However, currently the ATS/ERS standards for interpretation of lung function tests recommend the lower limi...
