| maximal expiratory flow rate | <chest medicine, physiology> Measurement of rate of airflow during the first liter expired after the first 200 ml have been exhausted during a forced vital capacity determination. Common abbreviations are MEFR, FEF 202-1200, and fef 0.2-1.2. Acronym: MEFR (21 Jun 2000) |
|---|---|
| maximal midexpiratory flow rate | Measurement of rate of airflow over the middle half of a forced vital capacity determination (from the 25 percent level to the 75 percent level). Common abbreviations are mmfr and fef 25%-75%. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glomerular filtration rate | <nephrology> Measure of the kidneys' ability to filter and remove waste products. (09 Oct 1997) |
| peak expiratory flow rate | Measurement of the maximum rate of airflow attained during a forced vital capacity determination. Common abbreviations are pefr and pfr. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peak flow rate | Maximum urinary flow rate during voiding as measured by a uroflowmeter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| repetition rate | The number of pulses per minute, describing an energy outpute.g., ultrasound pulses in echocardiography rather than vascular pulses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| voiding flow rate | Urinary flow as a function of time during micturition, as graphically recorded by a flow meter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| volume loading rate | The rate of raw materials put into a fermenter or aerobic digester, expressed in terms of material weight per unit volume per unit time. (09 Oct 1997) |
| respiration rate | Frequency of breathing, recorded as the number of breaths per minute. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory rate | The number of breaths per minute (or, more formally, the number of movements indicative of inspiration and expiration per unit time). In practice, the respiratory rate is usually determined by counting the number of times the chest rises (or falls) per minute. By whatever means, the aim is to determine if the respirations are normal, abnormally fast (tachypnea), abnormally slow (technically termed bradypnea), or nonexistent (apnea). (12 Dec 1998) |
| response rate | <oncology> The percentage of patients showing partial or complete response to the given treatment. (16 Dec 1997) |
| per capita rate | <epidemiology> A rate which is proportional to the number of individuals in a population. (05 Dec 1998) |
| perinatal mortality rate | The number of stillborn infants of 24 completed weeks or more plus the number of deaths occurring under 7 days of life divided by the number of stillborn infants of 24 weeks or more gestation plus all liveborn infants in the same population, regardless of the period of gestation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metabolic clearance rate | Volume of biological fluid completely cleared of drug metabolites as measured in unit time. Elimination occurs as a result of metabolic processes in the kidney, liver, saliva, sweat, intestine, heart, brain, or other site. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gross reproduction rate | The average number of female children a woman would have if she survived to the end of her childbearing years and if, throughout that period, she were subject to a given set of age-specific fertility rates and a given sex ratio at birth; this rate provides a measure of the replacement fertility of a population in the absence of mortality.
