Table 2. Characteristics of CT-Quantitative EAtC Mapping of Lung Parenchyma According to GOLD Stages.

EAtC Mapping GOLD Stage P *
I (n = 85) II (n = 333) III (n = 144) IV (n = 22)
Normal 62.4 ± 19.8 53.5 ± 17.6 37.7 ± 14.5 24.8 ± 7.3 < 0.001
fAT 32.9 ± 20.0 42.0 ± 18.1 58.8 ± 15.0 72.8 ± 7.8 < 0.001
Emph 10.5 ± 11.6 14.2 ± 11.3 23.7 ± 15.0 38.6 ± 12.2 < 0.001

Data are presented as means ± standard deviations of the relative volume (%) of each class. *EAtC classes were compared according to GOLD stages using one-way analysis of variance. Post-hoc analysis with Tukey's test showed the significant inter-group differences between all GOLD stages (p < 0.05) except among Emph in GOLD stages I and II. EAtC = emphysema air-trapping composite, Emph = emphysema by EAtC, fAT = functional air trapping by EAtC, GOLD = Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease, Normal = normal lung parenchyma by EAtC
