Causal inference analysis of the radiologic progression in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
There is limited evidence regarding the causal inference of emphysema and functional small airway disease in the subsequent progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients consisting of two independent cohorts diagnosed with COPD and underwent two serial chest CT scans were inc...

Summary: | There is limited evidence regarding the causal inference of emphysema and functional small airway disease in the subsequent progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients consisting of two independent cohorts diagnosed with COPD and underwent two serial chest CT scans were included. Total percent emphysema (PRM

) and fSAD (PRM

) was quantified via PRM. To investigate the progression of emphysema, we divided COPD patients with PRM
