Sex was considered when selecting subjects to eliminate sex bias. Arrows ↑ and ↓ in parentheses denote increase and decrease, respectively, of cluster-mean J(Total) and Dh*(sLLL) in comparison with healthy subjects with a significance level of p < 0.001.

CFD, computational fluid dynamics; Dh*, normalized hydraulic diameter; HF, healthy female; IC, inspiratory capacity; J, Jacobian determinant; PI, peak inspiration; QPI, maximum volumetric flow rate at peak inspiration; Re, Reynolds number.
