An updated comparison of standard and novel FEV1 indices’ association with all-cause mortality
Reference-range-independent indices based on absolute FEV1 (raw FEV1, FEV1-Q, FEV1/Ht2, FEV1/Ht3) are equally or more strongly associated with mortality than reference-range- dependent FEV1 indices (FEV1-Z scores, FEV1-Percent Predicted) in a large U.S. cohort.
