Sputum purulence scores during stable phase (A) and exacerbation (B) in COPD patients with (n=4 during stable phase, and n=5 during exacerbation) or without (n=27 during stable phase, and n=16 during exacerbation) bronchiectasis according to HRCT.
Notes: Data are presented as individual dots and bars for median and IQR. P-value for statistical significance between COPD patients with or without bronchiectasis is shown in the figure.
Abbreviations: HRCT, high-resolution computed tomography; IQR, interquartile range.
