The association between spirometry measurement quality, cognitive function, and mortality
Higher cognitive function was associated with a lower risk of poor-quality spirometry. The lack of independent association of poor-quality spirometry with mortality suggests that excluding poor-quality spirometry measurements from analyses is unlikely to introduce a major bias. However, discarding poor-quality spirometry from epidemiological analyses might imply the exclusion of vulnerable subjects. These findings should be confirmed in future studies representing other populations.
