“…After adjusting for sex, age, and height, the study found that blacks demonstrated a 3.9 mL/min/mmHg lower DLCO than whites [ 16 ]. Another study extended these observations, noting impairments in DLCO among significant race/ethnicity groups in spirometry, lung volumes, and DLCO at six months [ 17 ]. Notably, when examining individuals with impaired DLCO, DLCO% predicted value and KCO% predicted value did not show significant differences between males and females [ 12 ].…”

This review comprehensively examines the intricate relationship between carbon monoxide (CO) diffusion capacity and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD, comprising chronic bronchitis and emphysema, presents a substantial global health burden, necessitating a nuanced understanding of pulmonary function parameters for effective diagnosis and management. The review delves into the physiological underpinnings, measurement techniques, and factors influencing CO diffusion capacity, emphasizing its pivotal role in assessing alveolar gas exchange efficiency. Key findings elucidate correlations between altered diffusion capacity and the severity of COPD, providing clinicians with valuable insights into disease progression. Considerations of age, gender, and ethnic disparities in normal CO diffusion capacity values highlight the importance of personalized interpretations. The clinical implications extend beyond diagnosis, influencing COPD management and prognostication, with potential applications in predicting treatment response. The review outlines avenues for future research, including advancements in measurement technologies and the exploration of novel imaging modalities and biomarkers. Ultimately, this review serves as a foundation for refining diagnostic approaches and treatment strategies and enhancing patient care in the dynamic landscape of COPD.

“…A single center study from the University of Virginia that tracked pulmonary function testing (PFT) following admission for COVID pneumonia reported persistent PFT abnormalities at the 6 months follow‐up in about a fifth of all patients, 4 whereas investigators from Sweden found that mild to moderate cases of COVID‐19 did not result in significant PFT changes in young adults, regardless of preexisting asthma, inhaled steroid, or bronchodilator use 5 . A considerable and growing number of patients present with persistent dyspnea and fatigue, but normal PFT.…”
