Impact of using different predictive equations on the prevalence of chronic byssinosis in textile workers in Pakistan

Asaad Ahmed Nafees et al.

Summary: Textile workers in low/middle-income countries still face a significant issue with byssinosis.

Results showed variation in identifying reduced FEV1 among workers with symptoms-based byssinosis according to different reference equations.
