zscore_GLIgl {rspiro} | R Documentation |
Convert spirometric values to z-scores using GLI global (2022) equations
Description
This function takes absolute spirometry measurements (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC) in lt plus demographic data (age, height and gender) and converts them to z-scores based on the GLI global (2022) equations.
Usage
zscore_GLIgl(age, height, gender = 1, FEV1 = NULL, FVC = NULL, FEV1FVC = NULL)
Arguments
age |
Age in years |
height |
Height in meters |
gender |
Gender (1 = male, 2 = female) or a factor with two levels (first = male). Default is 1. |
FEV1 |
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (lt) |
FVC |
Forced Vital Capacity (lt) |
FEV1FVC |
FEV1 / FVC |
Details
At least one of the spirometric measurement arguments must be set (i.e. be
non-NULL
). Arguments age
, height
and gender
must be vectors of length equal to the length of the
spirometric measurement vector(s), or of length one, in which case their
value is recycled. If any input vector is not of equal length, the function
stops with an error.
Value
If only one spirometry argument is supplied, the function returns a numeric vector. If more are supplied, the function returns a data.frame with the same number of columns.
Examples
# Random data, 4 patients, one parameter supplied (FEV1)
zscore_GLI(age=seq(25,40,4), height=c(1.8, 1.9, 1.75, 1.85),
gender=c(2,1,2,1), FEV1=c(3.5, 4, 3.6, 3.9))
