A Simple Measure to Assess Hyperinflation and Air Trapping: 1-Forced Expiratory Volume in Three Second / Forced Vital Capacity

Background: Several recent studies have suggested that 1 minus-forced expiratory volume expired in 3 seconds / forced vital capacity (1-FEV3/FVC) may be an indicator of distal airway obstruction and a promising measure to evaluate small airways dysfunction. Aims: To investigate the associations of...

Teme:	with a mean age of 52.5±15.6 years. Mean FEV3/FVC and 1-FEV3/FVC were 87.05% 12.95% respectively. The mean 1-FEV3/FVC was 4.9% in the FEV1/FVC ≥70% group (n=644) vs. 24.1% in the FEV1/FVC <70% group (n=466). A positive correlation was found between 1-FEV3/FVC and residual volume (r=0.70; p<0.0001) functional residual capacity-pleth (r=0.61; p<0.0001) and total lung capacity (r=0.47; p<0.0001). 1-FEV3/FVC was negatively correlated with forced expiratory flow25-75 (r=−0.84; p<0.0001). The upper limit of 95% confidence interval for 1-FEV3/FVC was 13.7%. 1-FEV3/FVC showed significant correlations with parameters of air trapping and hyperinflation measured by whole-body plethysmography. Importantly these correlations were higher in study participants with FEV1/FVC <70% or FEV3/FVC < LLN compared to those with FEV1/FVC ≥70% or FEV3/FVC ≥ LLN 1-FEV3/FVC hyperinflation spirometry
