Association between Airway Mucus Plugs on Computed Tomography and Respiratory Outcomes in Participants with COPD and with Preserved Spirometry: Findings from a Chinese Population.
RATIONALE Airway mucus plugs are a prognostic marker in moderate-to-very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but their association with respiratory outcomes has been insufficiently evaluated among participants with preserved spirometry and asymptomatic COPD. OBJECTIVES To investigate the association...
