| Description | Population studies that assess lung function usually exclude results of individuals with poor-quality measurements, which often means excluding many subjects. Impaired cognition is frequently associated with poor-quality spirometry; excluding such subjects may introduce a selection bias in studies with lung function as either outcome or exposure. We investigated the association between poor-quality spirometry and impaired cognitive function and whether poor-quality spirometry is associated with future mortality risk independently of cognitive function. |
