B3865 - Global Lung Function Initiative Exhaled Nitric Oxide FENO Data Request - 20/09/2021
The Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) has collected measures of respiratory function from researchers and health care professionals from around the world and has produced reference equations for:
-Spirometry (respiratory testing) which take into account age, sex, height and race or ethnic origin;
-The Transfer Factor for Carbon Monoxide (TLCO) in the Caucasian population;
-Lung Volumes
The ERS has now approved a GLI Task Force for developing GLI reference equations for exhaled nitric oxide (FENO).
These reference equations allow studies to compare their values againts 'normal' values to aid diagnosis.
For more information about the FENO Task Force or to keep up to date with the GLI activities, you can visit the GLI website http://www.lungfunction.org/.
