الوصف: | A concave-shaped maximal expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curve is a spirometric feature in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The MEFV curve is characterized by an increase in the Obstructive Index, which is defined as a ratio of forced vital capacity to the volume-difference between two points of half of the peak expiratory flow on the MEFV curve. We hypothesized that the Obstructive Index would reflect the severity of emphysema in patients with COPD and asthma-COPD overlap (ACO). Thus, the aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate whether the Obstructive Index on spirometry is associated with the extent of emphysema on computed tomography (CT) in patients with COPD, ACO, and asthma (N = 65, 15, and 53, respectively). The percentage of low-attenuation volume (LAV%) and wall area (WA%) were measured on CT. The Obstructive Index was higher in patients with COPD and ACO than in those with asthma. Spearman correlation showed that a greater Obstructive Index was associated with a higher LAV%, but not WA%. Multivariate analysis showed that Obstructive Index was associated with LAV% (standardized β = 0.43, P |
