Odds ratios are adjusted for age, race, gender, pack years and total lung volume (inspiratory and expiratory).

2

Emphysema based on a threshold of 4.8% voxels < -950 HU in inspiratory scans across both lungs as described in COPDGene CT Workshop Group (24).

3

Air trapping based on a threshold of 19.5% voxels < -856 HU in expiratory scans across both lungs as described in COPDGene CT Workshop Group (24).
