Implementation of various spirometry equations in R, currently the GLI-2012 (Global Lung Initiative; Quanjer et al. 2012 doi:10.1183/09031936.00080312), the race-neutral GLI global 2022 (Global Lung Initiative; Bowerman et al. 2023 doi:10.1164/rccm.202205-0963OC), the NHANES3 (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; Hankinson et al. 1999 doi:10.1164/ajrccm.159.1.9712108) and the JRS 2014 (Japanese Respiratory Society; Kubota et al. 2014 doi:10.1016/j.resinv.2014.03.003) equations. Also the GLI-2017 diffusing capacity equations doi:10.1183/13993003.00010-2017 are implemented. Contains user-friendly functions to calculate predicted and LLN (Lower Limit of Normal) values for different spirometric parameters such as FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second), FVC (Forced Vital Capacity), etc, and to convert absolute spirometry measurements to percent (%) predicted and z-scores.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("rspiro", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-rspiro

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-rspiro

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-rspiro

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
