Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Erin E Birnie"
- Erin E Birnie's research primarily focuses on the reliability of diagnostic tests for asthma, specifically examining the variability in forced expiratory volume (FEV) as an indicator for the disease.
- In her 2018 study published in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society, Birnie investigated the significance of between-visit FEV variability in diagnosing current asthma among adults with a history of the condition.
- The study involved a substantial sample size of 964 adults and aimed to clarify the relationship between FEV variability and asthma diagnosis, highlighting a gap in existing research concerning this diagnostic approach.
