We did some work looking at race specific equations that try to establish normal vs abnormal lung function.
TL/DR they don't do what they purport to do;

Límites de la normalidad en la Espirometría . Un nuevo Horizonte de oportunidad

Realizar un diagnóstico clínico es un desafío en la Medicina, para alcanzarlo, debemos seleccionar y comprender los resultados de las pruebas complementarias con la mejor probabilidad pre-prueba que permita confirmar o rechazar nuestra sospecha inicial, de ahí la importancia de conocer e interpretar adecuadamente los estudios de función pulmonar. En el año 2022 se actualizaron los estándares para interpretar algunas pruebas de función respiratoria, entre ellas: · Espirometría · Difus

Bronchodilators don’t improve smoking-related respiratory symptoms in people without COPD

Inhalers have long been the primary go-to treatment for these patients
