Reclassification of Bronchodilator Reversibility in the U-BIOPRED Adult Asthma Cohort Using z Scores

[摘要] Figures Figure 1 Sankey diagram demonstrating the reclassification of BDR in the U-BIOPRED adult asthma cohort using the ERS/ATS (2005) criteria² and the z score criteria proposed by Quanjer et al.¹ BDR = bronchodilator reversibility; ERS/ATS = European Respiratory Society/American Thoracic Society; U-BIOPRED = European Unbiased Biomarkers for the Prediction of Respiratory Diseases Outcomes. Bronchodilator reversibility (BDR) is a hallmark feature of asthma. In the May 2017 issue of CHEST, Quanjer et al¹ raised two valuable points to consider in the interpretation of BDR.
