Hypoxemia during sleep in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: significance, detection, and effects of therapy.

abstract：:Several algorithms exist to facilitate spirometric interpretation in clinical practice, yet there is a lack of consensus on how spirometric criteria for asthma, COPD, and restrictive disorders should be incorporated into spirometry interpretation algorithms suitable for use in day-to-day primary care management. The p...
