Hughes, 2007
Reference values provide a point of reference to help to interpret
and determine a patient’s condition: a test result is normal if it falls within
the range predicted for the age, sex and height of the patient, based on
large population studies
4
performing a test, in order to avoid misdiagnosis;
Reference values are important statistical parameters to
obtain medical relevant information
Introduction
It is crucial to have adequate reference values when
Spirometry is an exam that allows to assess a
patient’s pulmonary function using a spirometer:
The spirometer measures the
volume and flow of the forced
exhaled air during a period of
time
2
Two reference values are commonly used: the FVC (total
amount of exhaled air) and FEV1 (exhaled air during the first
second)

* The best scored article (93%) refers to a population with
a very limited age
* The second best scored article has a larger range
of age but is still limited
Discussion
* The third best scored article, in spite of having a much
lower score than the others has a larger age range
* There is a limited number of studies of this type
published each year
* All but one study follow ATS/ERS criteria showing an
effort for the standardization of this studies
*There is the need for a study with a good sample
size that covered a wide range of ages
Discussion
*We don’t have enough data to affirm that there are
equations that can be applied in Portugal: a study
should be conducted
*The average score for methods (73%) and results (59%)
were the lowest. Suggesting that most studies are frail in
the most important topics of the check-list.
