Lung function reference equations for Cree First Nations cohort

What is it about?

Spirometric prediction equations are used to evaluate lung function in the clinical setting. However, such equations are not yet available for First Nations populations. The purpose of this study is to derive appropriate spirometric reference equations for a group of Cree First Nations school-aged children and adolescents living in rural Saskatchewan, Canada.

Why is it important?

This baseline study provides a platform for future studies, which can be conducted to improve the accuracy of the predicted lung function indices for such a study cohort.
