Cross-sectional national study reviews how spirometry measures respiratory symptoms in PCD patients, suggesting improvements are necessary.

Self-reported wheeze and frequent shortness of breath were linked to lower FEV1 and FEV1/FVC in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia.
In a national survey, 67% of invited patients completed the assessment, revealing significant associations impacting lung function.
The analysis examined the relationship between spirometric measurements and reported respiratory symptoms, adjusting for demographic factors.
Findings highlight that traditional spirometry fails to capture the full spectrum of respiratory morbidity in primary ciliary dyskinesia patients.

Lam et al. (2025) studied this question.
