Figure 3. Pi10 According to COPD Status in SPIROMICS.
*p<0.05 for comparison of mean Pi10 between participants with no COPD to those with COPD. Calculation of Pi10 required 5 or more airways per participant; therefore, Pi10 was not computed for generations 0 to 2. Mean values and differences adjusted for age, gender, height, race-ethnicity, smoking status, airway length, percent emphysema−950HU, BMI-determined CT dose, and lung volume at CT.
Abbreviations: COPD denotes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, SPIROMICS Subpopulations and Intermediate Outcome Measures in COPD Study, CI confidence interval, HU Hounsfield units, BMI body mass index, and CT computed tomography.
