Optimal spirometry thresholds for the prediction of chronic airflow obstruction: a multinational longitudinal study by Abby H.S. Lam, Sheikhah A. Alhajri, James Potts, Imed Harrabi, Mahesh Padukudru Anand, Christer Janson, Rune Nielsen, Dhiraj Agarwal, Andrei Malinovschi, Sanjay Juvekar, Meriam Denguezli, Thorarinn Gislason, Rain Jõgi, Vanessa Garcia-Larsen, Rana Ahmed, Asaad Ahmed Nafees, Parvaiz A. Koul, Althea Aquat-Stewart, Peter Burney, Ben Knox-Brown, Andre F.S. Amaral

“…Spirometry parameters were good at discriminating chronic airflow obstruction incidence (area under the curve 0.80–0.84), while respiratory symptoms performed poorly. The optimal z-score threshold was identified for pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 s to forced vital capacity ratio (FEV1/FVC) <−1.336, equivalent to the 9th percentile (sensitivity: 78%, specificity: 72%). …”
