Determining your baseline values
The importance of any changes in airflow from one measurement to the next depends upon
how much they are different from the baseline value you should reach when you are in healthy
physical condition.
The application can calculate the predicted value, i.e. the expected value for healthy people,
depending on age, height, gender, and origin. The application calculates the predicted value
that has been endorsed by ATS (American Thoracic Society): GLI-2012 All-Age Multi-Ethnic
Reference Values by Philip H. Quanjer, Sanja Stanojevic, Janet Stocks, Tim J. Cole. For the PEF
parameter, the predicted values are calculated according to Knudson, R. J., Slatin R. C.,
Lebowitz, M. D., Burrows, B., The Maximal Expiratory Flow-Volume Curve
–
Normal Standards,
Variability, and Effects of Age, AM REV RESPIR DIS, 1976 113;587-600.
It is important to know that these predicted values are average numbers for large groups of
people. The patient may have a higher measurements than the predicted value while not
being healthy. Or the patient may have lower measurements than the average and still be
healthy.
