Abstract excerpt
Rationale: Among tobacco-exposed persons with preserved spirometry (TEPSs), we previously demonstrated that different lung volume indices-specifically, elevated total lung capacity (TLC) versus elevated ratio of functional residual capacity to TLC (FRC/TLC)-identify different lung disease characteristics in the COPDGene cohort. Objective: We sought to determine differential disease characteristics and...
