简要总结

  1. Research question Does routine spirometry impact on clinical decisions and patient-related outcome measures of children seen in pulmonology clinics? 2. Background information Spirometry is recommended as an adjunct test in many respiratory practice guidelines. However, there is a paucity of high-quality evidence to support the routine use of spirometry in children. 3. Participant characteristics Children able to perform reliable spirometry with parent/guardian in attendance 4. Key results Using spirometry with clinical review significantly altered doctors’ clinical decisions, especially in follow-up schedule and patient education; and improved patient-reported outcome measures. 5. Limitations This is a non-blinded study. The study was undertaken in a specialist children hospital, so data may not be applicable in other settings. In addition, findings are limited to a single timepoint assessment, and could not determine long term outcomes.
