  • Title: Pulmonary function in symptom-free asthmatics.
    Author: Yaacob I, Mohammad M.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 1993 Dec; 34(6):522-3. PubMed ID: 8153715.
    Abstract:
    Seventy-five adult asthmatic patients with clinical remission underwent spirometry. Only 8.3% of the subjects demonstrated normal spirometry. The others had reduced vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), maximum mid-expiratory flow rate (MMF) and peak flow rate (PEFR). This study demonstrates that asthma can cause irreversible airflow obstruction and there is a poor relationship between symptoms in asthmatics and their respiratory function test results.
