Restricted pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis
AL Ries, G Sosa, L Prewitt, PJ Friedman, IR Harwood - Chest, 1988 - Elsevier
Some patients with cystic fibrosis have reduced pulmonary volumes, indicating a restrictive
pattern of pulmonary disease. We identified ten patients with pulmonary functional evidence
of restriction among 158 patients with cystic fibrosis followed at the University of California
San Diego Medical Center in 1984 and 1985. We characterized the radiographic, pulmonary
functional, and clinical characteristics of these restricted patients compared to matched
nonrestricted patients. Pulmonary volumes were measured by three different techniques …
