Please note that reference values for spirometry have changed according to new
international recommendations that no longer consider self-identified race/ethnicity.
For the same absolute value of FEV1 and FVC, this will result in lower % predicted
values for Blacks and Asians, and higher % predicted values for Whites, compared to
Post Test Comments: using race-specific equations. Always compare absolute values (rather than %
predicted values) over time, and consider the results in the context of the clinical
question rather than any specific cut-off value of normal.

SPIROMETRY Normal vital capacity. Mild airflow limitation based on FEF25-75% and the scooped shape fo the flow volume loop. No
significant improvement in airflow following bronchodilator. FEV1 (L) is increased by 7% compared to most recent testing 5 months
prior.
