Abstract: Introduction We investigated whether the forced expiratory volume in 6 s (FEV6) can be used as a surrogate for the forced vital capacity (FVC). Methods The Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease is a multinational cohort… read more here.

Abstract: Background Measurement of total lung capacity (TLC) requires large and expensive equipment. We aimed to investigate whether spirometric restriction and low alveolar volume measured by single breath gas transfer (VA) can be used to identify… read more here.
