Alexander Moffett, MD, clinical fellow, Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, and colleagues, sought to determine the real-world consequences of race correction for the interpretation of PFT results. Race correction, a standard practice in PFT interpretation that has no biological basis, results in a decrease in the predicted lower limit of normal for FEV1 (the maximum amount of air a person can forcibly exhale in one second) and FVC (forced vital capacity maximum amount exhaled forcefully after breathing in deeply) for Black patients. ....
