Lung function abnormalities in Singapore: a population-based cohort study on preserved ratio impaired spirometry and undiagnosed airway disease
This study highlights the high prevalence and clinical importance of PRISm and UAD in Singapore. Addressing these undiagnosed conditions improves spirometry practices, raise awareness and facilitate early diagnosis. Further research in Southeast Asia is needed to gain deeper insights.
