FEV1 percentile calculator for Canadians with cystic fibrosis

Lung function for individuals with CF is usually reported as a percentage of forced expiratory volume in 1s (FEV1) in litres that would be seen in an individual without CF of the same age, sex and height, referred to as FEV1pp. FEV1pp does not indicate how an individual compares to other individuals with CF of the same age, sex and height; that is what this tool does. If you enter your FEV1 in litres, sex, age and height in the spaces below, you will be returned with a percentile. If, for example, you are returned the 97th percentile, that indicates that only 3% of individuals with CF in Canada who are the same sex, age and height have better lung function.
Please enter the person's sex, date of birth, date of the visit, height (in cm) and FEV1 measurement (in L/s) at the visit.
This tool is for individuals 6-49 years of age at the date of visit.
