Espirometría forzada en niños escolares sanos de 10 años bajo las recomendaciones del ATS/ERS, Cuenca 2013

Abstract

Introduction: Today in our country there are no reference values for spirometry in school children 10 years of age, obtained as recommended by ATS / ERS. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional design in healthy male and female, 10 years old, to which his health was determined by questionnaire and physical examination with a trained staff and an established protocol kids.

Results: The study population was homogeneous for both sexes N = 136, 68 girls with a height of 135 ± 5.66 and weight 34 Kg and 68 children with a height of 134, 2 ± 5.69 and weight 32 kg. Measures of central tendency for weight and height for girls: CVF: 1.68 to 3.11 with X ± 2.22 ± 0.31, ERL - 1, 003 + 0.024 (R) 0.425. FEV 1: 1.68 to 2.80 ± SD 2.08 X + 0.26, ERL - 0,583 +0,020 (R) of 0.417, 95.3% CVF/VEF1 relationship. Children: CVF: 1.65 to 3.09 with X ± 2.29 ± 0.35, ERL - 0, 646 + 0.022 (R) 0.352 to height. FEV1: 1.43 to 2.78 ± SD 2.14 X + 0.30 ERL - 0,623 +0,019 (R) of 0.351, 95.2% CVF/VEF1 relationship.

Conclusions: This is the first source of information in our population, spirometers values for each of its variables, the correlation was moderate to low for girls and children were obtained, the weight did not improve the correlation coefficients
