Different subgroups of PRISm were identified: after 4\u2005years, 45.6% had persistent PRISm, 37.4% PRISm-to-normal and 17.0% had PRISm-to-AFL. Persistent PRISm individuals were characterised by significantly lower total lung capacity (TLC), with two-thirds meeting TLC criteria for restriction.

Participants with new PRISm after 4\u2005years (n=71) had the highest decline of vital capacity and TLC. Smoking status was not associated with PRISm progression or resolution as never- and ever-smokers with PRISm showed no difference in frequency of transitions after 4\u2005years.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PRISm is primarily defined by low lung volumes and is characterised by a dynamic course, with more than two-thirds demonstrating stable or improving lung function. Lung volume assessment in PRISm is mandatory for precise evaluation of pulmonary function. Similar transition patterns in smokers and never-smokers challenge the assumption of PRISm as an early smoking-related obstructive state and emphasise the importance of repeated lung function testing over time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1183\/23120541.01129-2025","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,13]],"date-time":"2025-11-13T15:55:14Z","timestamp":1763049314000},"page":"01129-2025","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1183\/ers-crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Physiological characteristics and temporal transitions of preserved ratio impaired spirometry"],"prefix":"10.1183","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-5523-2586","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tobias L.","family":"Mraz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-9398-9629","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Charmaine J.M.","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charles G.","family":"Irvin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David A.","family":"Kaminsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frits M.E.","family":"Franssen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0734-0070","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sylvia","family":"Hartl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marie-Kathrin","family":"Breyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emiel F.M.","family":"Wouters","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robab","family":"Breyer-Kohansal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"81","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026050510155533000_12.2.01129-2025.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.202205-0965ED"},{"key":"2026050510155533000_12.2.01129-2025.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/13993003.01499-2021"},{"key":"2026050510155533000_12.2.01129-2025.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1314","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.202307-1184OC","article-title":"Physiological characterization of preserved ratio impaired spirometry in the CanCOLD study: implications for exertional dyspnea and exercise intolerance","volume":"209","author":"Phillips","year":"2024","journal-title":"Am J Respir Crit Care Med"},{"key":"2026050510155533000_12.2.01129-2025.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.08-1235"},{"key":"2026050510155533000_12.2.01129-2025.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.115.3.869"},{"key":"2026050510155533000_12.2.01129-2025.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.201804-0663OC"},{"key":"2026050510155533000_12.2.01129-2025.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"149","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-2600(21)00369-6","article-title":"Prevalence, risk factors, and clinical implications of preserved ratio impaired spirometry: a UK Biobank cohort analysis","volume":"10","author":"Higbee","year":"2022","journal-title":"Lancet Respir Med"},{"key":"2026050510155533000_12.2.01129-2025.8","unstructured":"Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease.
