title = "Reliability of home spirometry data in lung transplantation",
abstract = "A paperless electronic diary/spirometer system has been tested in a home monitoring program for subjects who have undergone lung transplantation. The reliability of forced vital capacity (FVC) maneuvers recorded at home have been compared with similar measures recorded in the clinic pulmonary function laboratory. The correlation coefficients (r) for the two best efforts in clinic were 0.99 for both FVC and FEV1, with differences between best efforts of 1.2% and 0.4% for FVC and FEV1, respectively. Home measures were comparable, with r=0.98 for both FVC and FEV1, and differences of 2% and 3%. Thus home spirometry can provide quality data for a home monitoring program after lung transplantations.",
