European birth cohort studies on asthma and atopic diseases: I. Comparison of study designs -- a GALEN initiative.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There is theoretical evidence that specific airway conductance (SGaw) could be more reliable than forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) for assessing changes in airway calibre. We investigated the changes in FEV1 and SGaw when assessing bronchial responses to occupational agents. METHODS:SGaw and FEV1 were...
