Figure 3: Association between LCI and MMEF% predicted and disease severity.

From: Maximal mid-expiratory flow is a surrogate marker of lung clearance index for assessment of adults with bronchiectasis

Figure 3

(A), Association between LCI and the Bronchiectasis Severity Index; Thirty-eight patients had a Bronchiectasis Severity Index of 4 or lower, 39 patients had a Bronchiectasis Severity Index of 5 or greater and 8 or lower, and 33 patients had a Bronchiectasis Severity Index of 9 or greater. (B), Association between MMEF% predicted and the Bronchiectasis Severity Index; Thirty-eight patients had a Bronchiectasis Severity Index of 4 or lower, 39 patients had a Bronchiectasis Severity Index of 5 or greater and 8 or lower, and 33 patients had a Bronchiectasis Severity Index of 9 or greater. (C), Association between LCI and the HRCT total score; Forty-four patients had an HRCT total score of 6 or lower, 46 patients had an HRCT total score of 7 or greater and 12 or lower, and 20 patients had an HRCT total score of 13 or greater. (D), Association between MMEF% predicted and the HRCT total score. Forty-four patients had an HRCT total score of 6 or lower, 46 patients had an HRCT total score of 7 or greater and 12 or lower, and 20 patients had an HRCT total score of 13 or greater.
