Differential Diagnosis of Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases using Statistical Analysis on Data of Pulmonary Function Test Report

Lung performs the most important function of the human body called breathing. Any continuous increase or decrease in the breathing pattern is an early indication of the presence of abnormalities in the lung. Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a combination of common symptoms...

Summary:Lung performs the most important function of the human body called breathing. Any continuous increase or decrease in the breathing pattern is an early indication of the presence of abnormalities in the lung. Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a combination of common symptoms and signs that contributes largely in increasing mortality rate due to respiratory disorders. The main reason for this increased mortality rate due to Asthma and COPD are the lack of differential diagnosis of these two diseases. Differentiating two diseases is important for their respective drug and therapy treatments. In this study Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) data from 30 subjects of 3 groups (10 from each group) namely Control, Asthma & COPD is collected from the Department of Pulmonary Medicines & TB of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur All India. Different parameters are selected from the PFT report and their Statistical Significance Analysis will be done to check their significance to decide and label boundaries for removing difficulties in the differential diagnosis of Asthma and COPD in case of overlapping.
