Abstract

A follow up study of VC, FEV and MMEF was performed by the authors in forty silicotic patients, mainly in order to find out if MMEF were more sensitive than VC and FEV 1 IN detecting respiratory function impairment in the follow up of silicosis. In patients with moderate bronchial obstruction, a statistically significant difference was found between themean values of MMEF measured in two different instances: such a finding suggests a greater MMEF reduction in the early stages of silicosis. In 22 subjects with moderate respiratory function impairment (VC and FEV1 less than or equal 40% predicted values), MMEF was found to be, percentually, more decreased than FEV1: the difference was statistically significant. It is therefore concluded that MMEF changes in the follow up examination of silicosis are more sensitive than other functional indexes.
