Relationship Between Acoustic Breath Sounds and Spirometry
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether wheeze as assessed by a commercially available wheeze monitor is comparable to lung function as measured during a spirometry test. The main questions it aims to answer are whether measures of airflow obstruction (FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF) correlate with wheeze score (Tw/Ttot%).
Participants consenting to take part will undergo wheeze measurement prior to and during a spirometry test and will be asked to complete a series of symptom questionnaires.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Wheeze score (Tw/Ttot%) [Day 1]
The average proportion of each breath that contained wheeze during a 30 second breath sound recording.
- FEV1/FVC [Day 1]
the ratio between forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC)
- FEV1 [Day 1]
