Table 4.

Mean percent predicted spirometry values stratified by primary diagnosis.

Mean percent predicted [interquartile range]
FVC FEV1 FEF25–75% FEV1/FVCa
Asthma (n = 56) 89 [77–103] 96 [86–110] 96 [71–116] 102 [98–107]
Cystic fibrosis (n = 9) 94 [84–100] 98 [85–108] 99 [76–116] 99 [95–106]
Total (n = 135) 89 [77–101] 95b [84–107] 96c [73–114] 100 [96–106]

Note. FVC = forced vital capacity; FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in one second; FEF25–75% = forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of FVC.

a

FEV1/FVC was calculated as a ratio and transformed to a percentage.

b

133 children produced an FEV1.

c

104 children produced a value for FEF25–75%.
