Quantification of emphysema has been a topic of research for many years due to the time-consuming process that it requires and the subjectivity of the visual quantification of emphysema. In recent years there are a lot of studies dedicated to the comparison of automatic analysis data with the results of functional pulmonary tests. The previously used Tiffno index-based system for assessing the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has lost its independent value, so today it is recommended to establish the diagnosis and stage of the disease taking into account the frequency and severity of exacerbations. Thus, there is a need to search for more objective diagnostic criteria, which can become an AI-based emphysema quantification.

Function Testing

Two groups of twenty children between the ages of 8 and 12 years, who lived in areas near the petrochemical complex in Table View, were studied to ascertain the prevalence of respiratory disease. A random sample of 15children from each group was subjected to lung function testing using the ELF. Results showed a higher incidence of respiratory disease in the group living closer to the petrochemical complex, but the sample was too small to show any statistical significance. There was no difference in lung function test results between the two groups, but both groups demonstrated lower values than the predicted norms for their age, weight and height.

Forced Expiratory Flow

In 415 nonsmoking asthmatic children who were seen consecutively, asthma symptoms were more severe if the mother was a smoker than if she was a nonsmoker. This applied to both sexes but was more marked in boys than in girls. There were also other indications that sons were the more severely affected: the forced expiratory volume at 1 second, the forced expiratory flow rate during the middle half of the forced vital capacity, and the provocation concentration of histamine needed to result in a 20% decrease in the forced expiratory volume at 1 second were significantly decreased only in the sons, and lung function test results were significantly less in sons than in daughters of mothers who smoked. When the 415 children were stratified according to age, lung function improved significantly with increasing age in the children of nonsmokers; in children of smokers, by contrast, symptoms and lung function test results became progressively worse. As well, there was a correlation between these indications of asthma severity and the number of years the child had been exposed to the mother's smoke. It appeared that, compared with girls, boys were more sensitive to passive smoking, and that its adverse effect increased with age and with duration of exposure.
