Pulmonary function tests and clinical evaluation can complement one another, but neither can take the place of the other. The tests can provide objective, reproducible assessment of a patient's pulmonary status. Pulmonary function tests can support clinical diagnoses, quantify the severity and variability of the disorder, and can assist early intervention by indicating problems likely to arise later in the course of the disease.
肺功能测试和临床评估可以相互补充，但二者都不能替代对方。这些测试可以对患者的肺部状况提供客观、可重复的评估。肺功能测试能够支持临床诊断，量化疾病的严重程度和变异性，还能通过指出疾病过程后期可能出现的问题来协助早期干预。
