AbstractBACKGROUND: Forced expiratory volume in 3 seconds (FEV 3) and 6 seconds (FEV 6) could complement FEV 1and forced vital capacity (FVC) for detecting airflow obstruction. OBJECTIVE: To compare FEV 1/FEV 6 and FEV 3/FVC with FEV 1/FVC in the detection of airflow obstruction. METHOD: Previous lung function data were re-analysed to establish reference values for FEV 3 and FEV 6. Data from a separate cohort of male smokers were used as test set. FEV 1, FEV 3, FEV 6, FVC, FEV 1/FVC, FEV 1/FEV 6 and FEV 3/FVC were regressed against age, standing height, weight and body mass index, and the mean and 95% confidence intervals for the lower limit of normal (LLN) values for these parameters were determined. RESULTS: The percentage of smokers with airflow obstruction in the test population using FEV 1/FVC < LLN was 15.0%, while using FEV 1/FEV 6 < LLN and FEV 3/FVC < LLN they were respectively 18.5% and 18.1%. Using FEV 1/FVC < LLN as reference, the sensitivity and specificity of FEV 1/FEV 6 < LLN in identifying airflow obstruction were 82.3% and 92.8%, while those for FEV 3/FVC < LLN were 78.5% and 92.6%; the positive and negative predictive values were 67% and 96.7% for FEV 1/FEV 6 < LLN and 65.3% and 96% for FEV 3/FVC < LLN. CONCLUSION: FEV 3/FVC < LLN and FEV 1/FEV 6 < LLN are comparable to FEV 1/FVC < LLN for detecting airflow obstruction. FEV 3/FVC < LLN could be useful in screening for airflow obstruction, while FEV 1/FEV 6 < LLN is useful in detecting airflow limitation in the elderly or in subjects with severe airflow obstruction. © 2012 The Union.
