Area under the expiratory flow-volume curve: predicted values by artificial neural networks

Abstract Area under expiratory flow-volume curve (AEX) has been proposed recently to be a useful spirometric tool for assessing ventilatory patterns and impairment severity. We derive here normative reference values for AEX, based on age, gender, race, height and weight, and by using artificial neur...
