Yong Il Hwang, Youlim Kim, Chin Kook Rhee, Deog Kyeom Kim, Yong Bum Park, Kwang Ha Yoo, Ki-Suck Jung, Chang Youl Lee
Korean J Intern Med. 2021;36(3):629-635. Published online June 24, 2020
Background/Aims: Postbronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) less than 0.7 using spirometry is the golden standard to diagnose airf low limitation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Recently, measuring FEV6 has been s..
