BACKGROUND: Parameters from maximal expiratory flow-volume curves (MEFVC) have been linked to CT-based parameters of COPD. However, the association between MEFVC shape and phenotypes like emphysema, small airways disease (SAD) and bronchial wall thickening (BWT) has not been investigated. RESEARCH QUESTION: We analyzed if the shape of MEFVC can be linked to CT-determined emphysema, SAD and BWT in a large cohort...
