    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.

    Abstract Background: A proportion of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) survivors experience persistent dyspnoea without measurable impairments in lung function. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine relationships between dyspnoea and imaging abnormalities over time in post-COVID-19 patients.
    Methods: Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we analysed studies published prior to 15 September 2022 and indexed by Google Scholar, PubMed and LitCOVID which assessed chest imaging in adults ≥3 months after COVID-19. Demographic, chest imaging, spirometric and post-COVID-19 symptom data were extracted. The relationships between imaging abnormalities and dyspnoea, sex and age were determined using a random effects model and meta-regression.
    Results: 47 studies were included in the meta-analysis (n=3557). The most prevalent computed tomography (CT) imaging abnormality was ground-glass opacities (GGOs) (44.9% (95% CI 37.0-52.9%) at any follow-up time-point). Occurrence of reticulations significantly decreased between early and late follow-up (p=0.01). The prevalence of imaging abnormalities was related to the proportion of patients with dyspnoea (p=0.012). The proportion of females was negatively correlated with the presence of reticulations (p=0.001), bronchiectasis (p=0.001) and consolidations (p=0.025). Age was positively correlated with imaging abnormalities across all modalities (p=0.002) and imaging abnormalities present only on CT (p=0.001) (GGOs (p=0.004) and reticulations (p=0.001)). Spirometric values improved during follow-up but remained within the normal range at all time-points.
    Conclusions: Imaging abnormalities were common 3 months after COVID-19 and their occurrence was significantly related to the presence of dyspnoea. This suggests that CT imaging is a sensitive tool for detecting pulmonary abnormalities in patients with dyspnoea, even in the presence of normal spirometric measurements.
