Race-neutral equations for assessing lung function appeared to catch more true-abnormal findings for Black patients than did previously standard race-adjusted spirometry equations, a study showed.
Background Pulmonary function testing provides important insight regarding health; the vital capacity (VC) is so named because of its association with survival and longevity. Interpretation of ...
