title: Home-monitoring of peak expiratory flow rate using mini-Wright peak flow meter in diagnosis of asthma.
abstract: Home-monitoring of peak expiratory flow rate using the mini-Wright peak flow meter is a useful technique for determining whether or not unexplained respiratory symptoms are caused by asthma. It is of particular value when airflow obstruction cannot be demonstrated at the time of consultation.
