Abstract | Purpose of review: Spirometry is a validated tool in the diagnosis of obstructive airways disease. However, it may be insufficiently sensitive in detecting airflow limitation in the small airways. This review highlights common clinical scenarios wherein airflow limitation may be missed or overlooked. Recent findings: This article covers recent literature on the interpretation of lung function test, focusing on detection of mild obstructive airways disease. It also sheds light on the contextual difficulties of defining mild airflow limitation on spirometry. Summary: We highlight the consensus definition of mild obstructive airways disease and emphasize that this definition does not necessarily mean mild in certain disease-specific contexts. Several spirometric findings outside of a reduced forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity ratio should raise suspicion of mild obstruction. |
