Hi guys.

I remember before the boards crashed there were some links for sites that converted your FEV1 into a percentage.Does anyone remember the sites?

I'd be grateful if anyone can help

I can't remember them either but I always found that those sites' values were different to my hospital's, like a bit lower..weird..also the bmi site was lower too.

Hi

I went on to the second link (jj's link) but their calibrations are completely different to my hospital. My hospital's result is about 15% higher then the one given...Strange...Just something to keep in mind if you get a way lower result then expected! x
