Prevalence of preserved ratio impaired spirometry and restrictive spirometry pattern in the general population: a systematic review and multi-level meta-analysis of studies from multiple countries

Puntos clave

To estimate the prevalence of preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) and restrictive spirometry pattern (RSP) and examine variations across regions and demographics.
Conducted a systematic review of studies from multiple countries
Performed a multi-level meta-analysis to pool prevalence estimates
Examined variations in spirometry patterns by demographics and regions
Identified significant regional variations in PRISm and RSP prevalence
Smoking and comorbidities emerged as key risk factors
Findings highlight the need for tailored early management strategies based on regional data

Resumen

We provide a pooled estimate of PRISm and RSP prevalence based on studies from multiple regions, highlighting significant regional and demographic variations. Key risk factors, particularly smoking and comorbidities, should be considered when developing early management strategies.
