Published in: ERJ open research (2024)

Hypercapnia rates are in the range 3.6-12% among those with abnormal spirometry and FEV 1 ≥80% pred, and 53-58% among those with FEV 1 <35% pred. Both airflow obstruction and preserved ratio impaired spirometry are associated with higher risk of CHRF. https://bit.ly/3H8DlfM.
