The study aims to measure and compare pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) patients (smokers/nonsmokers) and normal individuals.
The study population included 150 participants that comprised 50 nonsmoker OSMF patients, 50 OSMF patients who smoke as well, and 50 patients with no deleterious habits. Spirometer was used to assess PFT.
Results showed that a significant value was obtained for forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), and maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) and also for the predicted values of FEV, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEFR, and MVV in OSMF (smokers/nonsmokers) study groups.
Thus, the decrease in pulmonary function can be an alarming sign for restrictive type of pulmonary disease.
本研究旨在测量和比较口腔黏膜下纤维化(OSMF)患者(吸烟者/非吸烟者)与正常个体的肺功能测试(PFTs)。
研究人群包括150名参与者,其中50名非吸烟的OSMF患者,50名吸烟的OSMF患者,以及50名无有害习惯的患者。使用肺活量计评估肺功能测试。
结果显示,在OSMF(吸烟者/非吸烟者)研究组中,用力肺活量(FVC)、第1秒用力呼气容积(FEV1)、FEV1/FVC、呼气峰值流速(PEFR)和最大自主通气量(MVV)以及FEV、FEV1、FEV1/FVC、PEFR和MVV的预测值均获得了显著值。
因此,肺功能下降可能是限制性肺病的一个警示信号。
