The following independent variables were used for the multivariable model: EAtC classes (fAT and Emph), age, and smoking history (pack-years). Normal from the EAtC classes was not considered as an independent variable because considerable multicollinearity (variance inflation factor > 10) between fAT and Normal were found. BODE = Body mass index, airflow Obstruction, Dyspnea and Exercise capacity, DLCO = carbon monoxide diffusing capacity corrected for hemoglobin concentration, EAtC = emphysema air-trapping composite, Emph = emphysema by EAtC, fAT = functional air trapping by EAtC, FEF25–75% = mean forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of FVC, FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second, FVC = forced vital capacity, Normal = normal lung parenchyma by EAtC, PFT = pulmonary function test, RV = residual volume, TLC = total lung capacity
