Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:To establish a predictive equation for commonly used pulmonary ventilation function parameters in children aged 6-<16 years in northeast China.
METHODS:A total of 504 healthy children from Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang provinces of China were selected for the prospective study, among whom there were 242 boys and 262 girls. The JAEGER MasterScreen Pneumo spirometer was used to measure pulmonary ventilation function. With the measured values of 10 parameters, including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV
RESULTS:The boys aged 9-<10 years and 15-<16 years had significantly higher body height, FVC, and FEV
CONCLUSIONS:A new predictive equation for the main pulmonary ventilation function parameters has been established in this study for children aged 6-<16 years in northeast China, which provides a basis for accurate judgment of pulmonary function abnormalities in clinical practice.
