Table 2 Percent predicted FEV1 using race-specific and race-neutral spirometry stratified by asthma control status
From: Race-specific spirometry equations may overestimate asthma control in Black children and adolescents
Uncontrolled Asthma (ACT ≤ 19) (n = 81) | Controlled Asthma (ACT > 19) (n = 82) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
ppFEV1, mean (SD) | ||||
Black (n = 54) | White (n = 26)* | Black (n = 45)* | White (n = 36) | |
Race-specific spirometry | 94.1 (16.7) | 96.1 (16.2) | 96.7 (17) | 95.1 (12.7) |
Race-neutral spirometry | 84.3 (14.8) | 100 (16.6) | 86 (15.7) | 98 (13.1) |
