Both groups were assessed by carrying out their
peak expiratory flow rate via standard
peak expiratory flow rate device.

peak expiratory flow rates to age, height, and weight in men and women," Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, vol.
Two European studies have reported that airborne iron was possibly associated with a decline in
peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), production of phlegm, or exacerbation of respiratory symptoms (Dusseldorp et al.
Laboratory studies have found that the Mapleson C circuit has a higher
peak expiratory flow rate than the Laerdal circuit (Maxwell and Ellis 2003, Savian et al 2005) which may explain the increased amount of secretion clearance obtained with the Mapleson C compared to the Laerdal circuit in this trial.

The association of ambient air pollution with twice daily
peak expiratory flow rate measurements in children.
This article describes a pilot study using a Free-Running Asthma Screening Test (FRAST) and
peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) measurements in screening 437 school-age children for EIA in rural Alabama.
To correlate FVC volume forcibly exhaled in one second (FEV1), and
peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) in diabetes patients and duration of disease.
* The
peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR, also known as a peak flow) is the maximal rate that a person can exhale during a short maximal expiratory effort after a full inspiration.
The means height, weight, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, force vital capacity and
peak expiratory flow rate were 137.3713.41cm, 30.448.56kg, 1.560.58, 1.720.50 and 3.661.10, respectively.
Spirometery on urban and rural children showed that
peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) values correlate best with height; there was no difference in sex, religion, and urban/rural children.
One clinical parameter,
peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), was reported in 6 of the studies.
