BACKGROUND: Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) is widely used as a predictor of treatment of asthma patients. Peak expiratory flow and forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV(1)) are the most useful parameters for the diagnosis of asthma. Spirometry is not often available in the primary care set...
