Assessing the applicability of the new Global Lung Function Initiative reference values for the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide in a large population set.

Assessing the applicability of the new Global Lung Function Initiative reference values for the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide in a large population set.

<h4>Background</h4>The single-breath diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) interpretation needs the comparison of measured values to reference values. In 2017, the Global Lung Function Initiative published new reference values (GLI-2017) for DLCO, alveolar volume (VA)...
