Clinical characteristics and outcomes associated with preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) in Saudi Arabia

Our study has shown that individuals with PRISm face substantial respiratory and psychological difficulties, including elevated anxiety and depression levels, as well as frequent hospitalizations. Given that PRISm is underdiagnosed and underappreciated with no clear guidelines on treatment plans, these findings underscore the critical need for routine assessments and comprehensive management strategies to enhance the quality of life for PRISm patients.

Abstract

Our study has shown that individuals with PRISm face substantial respiratory and psychological difficulties, including elevated anxiety and depression levels, as well as frequent hospitalizations. Given that PRISm is underdiagnosed and underappreciated with no clear guidelines on treatment plans, these findings underscore the critical need for routine assessments and comprehensive management strategies to enhance the quality of life for PRISm patients.
