Evaluating Race-Neutral Equations in PFTs: Implications for Severe Asthma Care

Guest: Isabel Bazan, MD, BA
As race-neutral reference equations have become the standard in pulmonary function tests (PFTs), a recent study explored the potential impact of this change on diagnosis and treatment of severe asthma. Join Dr. Isabel Bazan as she dives into the data and explains its implications for patient categorization and access to care. Dr. Bazan is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Yale School of Medicine, and she spoke about this topic at the 2025 American Thoracic Society International Conference.
