3 lut 2022 · PEF variability between 15% to 20% clearly lacks sensitivity to diagnose asthma compared to bronchial challenge and we advocate prospective studies to establish the threshold of variability that best correlates to a positive bronchial challenge test.

15 mar 2020 · Bronchoprovocation testing may be used if spirometry results are normal and allergen- or exercise-induced asthma is suspected. For patients with an FEV 1 less than 70% of predicted, a...
1 lut 2018 · INTRODUCTION. Spirometry testing plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma [1 – 3]. In addition, a restrictive spirometry pattern can prompt additional testing (e.g., lung volumes, diffusing capacity) to diagnose restrictive abnormalities like interstitial lung disease [4].
In patients with a normal spirometry, variability may also be demonstrated by bronchial provocation testing to assess airway hyper-responsiveness. Most often a challenge with inhaled methacholine is used but an exercise challenge also provides the same information.
21 cze 2024 · The definitive diagnosis of asthma requires the history or presence of respiratory symptoms consistent with asthma, combined with the demonstration of variable expiratory airflow obstruction and/or hyperresponsiveness .
GINA diagnostic guidance 5 (Supplementary Fig. E3) states that asthma should only be diagnosed in patients with obstructed spirometry (FEV 1 /FVC ratio < LLN at any visit) AND evidence of variable airflow from at least one of the following: (1) BDR ≥12% and ≥200 mL (2) PEFv >10%, (3) increase in FEV 1 >12% and 200 mL after 4 weeks of ICS ...
25 sty 2024 · Challenge test. If your spirometer results are typical or near typical, your healthcare professional might try to trigger asthma symptoms. This is done by having you breathe in a substance that causes the airways to narrow in people with asthma, such as methacholine (meth-uh-KO-leen).
