Coefficient of variation (95% confidence intervals) | 95% limits of agreement (1.96* SDi) | |
---|---|---|
FVC* | 3.3% (2.1 – 4.5) | 0.24 L |
FEV1† | 2.6% (1.8 – 3.3) | 0.18 L |
FEV1/FVC | 1.9% (0.9 – 3.0) | 0.05 |
FEV6‡ | 2.8% (1.7 – 3.8) | 0.23 L |
FEF25–75§ | 6.8% (3.1 – 10.4) | 0.45 L |
PEF∥ | 5.1% (3.1 – 7.1) | 1.05 L/sec |
FVC = forced vital capacity
FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in one second
FEV6 = forced expiratory volume in six seconds
FEF25–75 = forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of vital capacity
PEF = peak expiratory flow rate
