I. Printed Spirometry Reports â Analysis of results
The printed reports display patient demographics, test date and time, measurements,
graphs, interpretations, and additional analysis of the Spirometry test results.
COPD Risk Assessment
The Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Risk Assessment uses the
Tecumseh Index. It is helpful in smoking cessation programs. If the patient is a current
smoker and that fact is entered into the Patient Data screen, the printed report will indicate
the curent COPD Risk and the reduced COPD risk to the patient if they quit smoking.
The COPD Risk statements are: Low, Moderate, High, Risk is very high, COPD may
exist.
Lung Age
The program automatically calculates the Lung Age of the patient. The Lung Age is
calculated from the patientâs Sex, Height and FEV
1
. This estimate is also useful in
smoking cessation programs. Lung Age is calculated only for patients from 20 to 84.
J. Reviewing Data for Other Patients
Patient reports can be effectively managed with the Diagnostic Workstation. You can
access other patients test data by selecting the Patient List from the Patient Data screen
and then clicking on Go To Report List Screen.
For additional information on the Report List screen and patient data management, refer
