Short-term prognostic value of forced expiratory volume in 1 second divided by height cubed in a prospective cohort of people 80 years and older
BACKGROUND: Spirometry-based parameters of pulmonary function such as forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV(1)) have prognostic value beyond respiratory morbidity and mortality. FEV(1) divided by height cubed (FEV(1)/Ht(3)) has been found to be better at predicting all-cause mortality than the u...
