Virtual Grand Rounds: Implementation of Race-Neutral GLI Equation for Pulmonary Function Tests

Learning Objectives: -Review the history and flawed assumptions in the use of race and how race-specific PFT reference equations might lead to health disparities. -Understand the evidence behind the recommendation to use race-neutral reference equations. -Review the quantitative impact of switching from race-specific to race-neutral reference equations. -Assess the many remaining gaps in our understanding of how to use pulmonary function tests to improve health.
