Race-neutral equations for interpreting lung function tests more accurately predicted risk of death and COPD flare ups compared to race-specific standards. Lung function tests have traditionally used ...

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 ...

For decades, clinical algorithms that were used to diagnose disease have included race as a variable. Over the past several years, growing recognition that this may lead to diagnoses being entirely ...

"Small lung syndrome" is proposed to address persistent low lung volume linked with comorbidities, requiring a new ICD code for accurate diagnosis. Early intervention in lung function trajectories can ...

Background Preterm birth is associated with lifelong respiratory sequelae, yet our understanding of lung function trajectories across the lifespan remains limited. We aimed to identify patterns of ...
