The aim of the present study was to provide new spirometry reference equations in a sample of the Brazilian population for the following parameters: forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volu
Background: Predictions that overestimate post-lobectomy lung function are more likely than underestimates to lead to lobectomy. Studies of post-lobectomy lung function have included only surgical pat
NS indicates never smokers, and CS indicates current smokers. FVC indicates the forced vital capacity as a percent of the predicted value. FEV1% indicates the forced expiratory volume at one second as
