Groups are defined according the classification performed by VIDA and Imbio LDA (NE, ME, SE) and by CALIPER (G1, G2, G3). Differences were analyzed by Games-Howell post-hoc test and p values are displayed (significant p values are in bold). Legend: DLco % percent predicted diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide, FEV₁% percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s, FRC% percent predicted functional residual capacity, FVC% percent predicted forced vital capacity, %LAA_-950insp percentage of lung attenuation area with values <−950 Hounsfield Units at inspiratory CT scan, ME (moderate emphysema, 6 ≤ %LAA_-950insp < 14 if VIDA or 6 ≤ %pLDA < 14 if Imbio LDA), NE (no emphysema, %LAA_-950insp < 6 if VIDA or %pLDA < 6 if Imbio LDA), RV% percent predicted residual volume, SE (severe emphysema, %LAA_-950insp ≥ 14 if VIDA or %LAA_-950insp ≥ 14 if Imbio LDA), TLC% percent predicted total lung capacity
