Doctors use the GOLD system to assess people with COPD in “grades” of the condition. Grading is a way to measure the severity of the condition. It uses the forced expiratory volume (FEV1), a ...

Dupilumab added to standard COPD triple therapy reduces the annual rate of moderate exacerbations but not severe exacerbations.

Abstract: Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) is a pulmonary function pattern characterized by a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) to forced vital capacity ratio greater than 0 ...

Comorbid lung function impairment was associated with increased risks for cardiovascular disease and mortality in type 2 diabetes.

While FEV1 is an indicator for how open the airways are, FVC gives insights into the size of the lungs. From the repeated ...

In a phase 4 trial, dupilumab effectively reduces airway inflammation and mucus plugging, improving lung function and asthma control in patients with moderate to severe type 2 asthma.

SAN DIEGO — Following use of race-neutral lung function equations, African American and Latino pediatric patients with asthma had reductions in FEV 1 and FVC while white patients with asthma had ...

Children then participate in pulmonary function testing to assess their lung function, including forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) tests. Children found to ...
