A race-specific approach to spirometry interpretation results in a lower lung allocation score (LAS) for Black patients and a higher LAS for White patients, according to a study published online May ...

Spirometry results in children were different after switching to race-neutral reference equations -- with the potential to change how chronic lung diseases that are more prevalent in underrepresented ...
