Abstract
Introduction: The Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI 2012) has published multiethnic spirometry reference values. To identify studies that evaluated the compatibility (applicability, validity, representativeness, agreement and/or adequacy) of the reference equations proposed by the GLI 2012 for spirometry tests in different populations.
Methods: Systematic searches were carried out on the PubMed, LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature), Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases. Cross-sectional observational studies published between 2012 and 2013 onwards that evaluated the compatibility of the GLI 2012 in children, adolescents and young adults (3-20 years old) were included. The references were manually searched and the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Cross-Sectional Analytical Studies was applied to assess the methodological quality of the studies included.
Results: All of the 5632 studies identified were classified as low risk of bias, but only 21 were deemed eligible for inclusion. Of these, 8 reported satisfactory GLI 2012 compatibility for their populations (Argentina, Spain, Columbia, Djibouti, Norway, Poland, Jordan and Zimbabwe), 5 cautious applicability, and the remaining 8 considered the equation unsatisfactory, since it over or underestimated spirometric parameters.
Conclusion: The GLI 2012 equations are not applicable to all populations and must be tested before being adopted.
