Predicted Values for Spirometry may Underestimate Long-Standing Asthma Severity.

CONCLUSION: FEV1 decline calculation may show how severe asthma actually is, avoiding a bronchial obstruction underestimation and a possible under-treatment in lots of apparent "well-controlled" LSA with GLI2012-normal-range lung function values. PMID: 28144365 [PubMed - in process]
