Racial disparities in lung function by pulmonary function testing among lung transplant candidates and race-specific reference equations

Non-White patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) experience racial disparities in lung transplant waitlist mortality. Race-specific equations for spirometry may contribute by underestimating restriction severity in non-White candidates. We analyzed US lung transplant candidates to assess for...
