---|---|---|---|---|
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.
FEV1/FVC was calculated as a ratio and transformed to a percentage.
133 children produced an FEV1.
104 children produced a value for FEF25–75%.
