Principal component analysis of flow-volume curves in COPDGene to link spirometry with phenotypes of COPD

Abstract 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. Re...
