Sažetak
Pulmonary function tests the most commonly used to detect asthma and COPD are spirometry and Impulse Oscillometry System (IOS). Spirometry as a test of lung function is most commonly used in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. Spirometry is running by measuring forcing maneuver. The actual benefit of the integrated software suite is to help the clinical utilization of impulse oscillometry, and at the same time to assist in the diagnosis of asthma and differentiation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Data which are first entered to software are related to a directory, symptoms and risk factors drawn from two major consensuses for COPD and asthma, Global Initiative for chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) and Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA). The parameters of IOS, spirometry, information about the symptoms, allergies and auscultation of the patient, are included in the neuro-fuzzy system, in order to help the software to suggest proper classification of asthma, COPD, or normal lung condition. In the cases where it is not possible to determine the diagnosis the software will indicates to do BDT and/or BPT, after which new tests are required for IOS and spirometry, in order to get a complete diagnosis. This software increases the percentage of correct interpretation of data obtained by measuring tests of impulse oscillometry and spirometry, and friendly guides the user to quickly obtain data to be used in evaluation of lung function. Results of this study showed a high efficiency of integrated software suite in the classification of asthma (97.22%), COPD (98, 41%) and healthy patients (98.61%). In Table I are expressed percentages of hits and misses of the integrated software suite in the classification of asthmatics, COPD and healthy patients who were involved in this study.
