| Airway >2–<3× vessel | 14 (12) | 26 (23) |
| Airway > 3× vessel | 6 (5) | 14 (12) |
| Bronchial wall thickening (total) | 92 (100) | 89 (100) |
| Highest score of CT scan | ||
| BW > 0.33–<0.5× vessel | 85 (92) | 75 (84) |
| BW >0.5–<1× vessel | 7 (8) | 14 (16) |
| BW > 1× vessel | 0 (0) | 0 (0) |
| Nodules (total) | 105 (100) | 106 (100) |
| Highest score of CT scan | ||
| Largest nodule < 5 mm | 16 (15) | 19 (18) |
| Largest nodule >5–<10 mm | 46 (44) | 43 (41) |
| Largest nodule >10 mm | 43 (41) | 44 (42) |
Maximal severity scores for the component scores bronchiectasis, bronchial wall thickening and nodules are presented for both methods. Numbers and percentages represent their distribution within the group on the most recent CT scan of patients (n = 138). CT, computed tomography; BW, bronchial wall.
