  2. PREDICTION VALUES FOR PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS IN AGE GROUP 5-14 YEARS OF PAKISTANI CHILDREN Prof.Dr. Ghulam Mustafa Presenter: Dr. TahreemKazi(Resident) PAEDS UNIT ii Nishtar hospital Multan. Mr. AslamAsadi

  3. BACKGROUND • Spirometery is most widely used in the world for prediction of pulmonary functions • Several reference values for lung function indices of children from different parts of the globe. • These values are influenced by age, sex, ethnicity and anthropometric profile of an individual

  4. Why we did this study ? • Community Basedstudy with a huge sample size • Hardly any study initiative found for the prediction values of reference equations of healthy Pakistani children. • National importance !

  5. OBJECTIVE To predict pulmonary function test values in children of our community .

  6. METHODOLOGY • This cross-sectional study • Sample Size: 3,275 participants • Location: Schools of Multan, Pakistan, from August 2014 to March 2015, and comprised school-going children aged 5-14 years.

  7. * • After noting their gender, age, height and weight, the pulmonary function test measures i.eforce vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second were taken !

  8. Methodology EXCLUSION Children with Acute/chronic ilnesses Respiratory symptoms Taking treatment INCLUSION • Healthy children • School going • 5-14 years • 5 children from each class were made to perform spirometery • Procedure explained & performed practically • ATS guidelines followed

  9. * • Simple and multiple regression models were used for the prediction of pulmonary function test values. • SPSS 19 was used for statistical analysis

  10. Demonstration of procedure

  11. Assesing their understanding!

  12. Performing !

  13. * RESULTS

  14. PARTICIPANTS Total 3,275

  15. Correlation of FVC with age of Girls & Boys

  16. Comparison of results of FEV1 & FVC

  17. Conclusion ! • An influencing community based study • Appreciable sample size of 3,275 participants • Each country should validate reference equation with sample of healthy control subjects. • So that our diseased children should be assessed from our own perspective instead of being compared to healthy children of European/Indian/ any other population.
