Abstrakt: | Rationale: Despite the widespread use of the Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) 2012 reference values, there is still the need of testing their applicability in local areas. Objectives: The aims of this study are to evaluate applicability of GLI reference equations in a large population-based sample of normal schoolchildren from Sicily, and to compare GLI and previous prediction equations in terms of spirometry test interpretation. Methods: GLI equations were evaluated in 1243 normal schoolchildren, 49% males, aged 7-16 years, height 116-187 cm. Normality assumptions for the GLI z-scores (FEV Results: The GLI z-score normality assumption held for males but not for females (p < 0.001). According to the mean z-score, predicted values were: slightly underestimated for FEV Conclusions: GLI 2012 references underestimate FEV (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.) |
