Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Height measurement is unreliable when neuromuscular weakness or spinal deformity is present. The aim of this study was to accurately predict pulmonary function from a limb segment (ulna) measurement that is precise and reproducible. Equations are available in caucasian children but are not available in children of sub-saharian or caribbean ethnicity, which was the aim of the study. To this end, 350 black children referred for pulmonary function testing for asthma follow-up will be included.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Ulna (dominant and non-dominant arm), height measurement in 350 asthmatic children of sub-saharian or caribbean ethnicity (both parents). Repeatability analysis (ulna and height) for the first fifty children. Recording of pulmonary function tests results (spirometry, resistance measurements)
