Abstract | The characteristics that predict progression to overt chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in smokers without spirometric airflow obstruction are not clearly defined.We conducted a analysis of 849 current and former smokers (≥20 pack-years) with preserved spirometry from the Subpopulations and Intermediate Outcome Measures in COPD Study (SPIROMICS) cohort who had baseline computed tomography (CT) scans of lungs and serial spirometry. We examined whether CT-derived lung volumes representing air trapping could predict adverse respiratory outcomes and more rapid decline in spirometry to overt COPD using mixed-effect linear modelling.Among these subjects with normal forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV) to forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio, CT-measured residual volume (RV) to total lung capacity (TLC) ratio varied widely, from 21% to 59%. Over 2.5±0.7 years of follow-up, subjects with higher RV/TLC had a greater differential rate of decline in FEV/FVC; those in the upper RV/TLC tertile had a 0.66% (95% CI 0.06%-1.27%) faster rate of decline per year compared with those in the lower tertile (p=0.015) regardless of demographics, baseline spirometry, respiratory symptoms score, smoking status (former current) or smoking burden (pack-years). Accordingly, subjects with higher RV/TLC were more likely to develop spirometric COPD (OR 5.7 (95% CI 2.4-13.2) in upper lower RV/TLC tertile; p<0.001). Other CT indices of air trapping showed similar patterns of association with lung function decline; however, when all CT indices of air trapping, emphysema, and airway disease were included in the same model, only RV/TLC retained its significance.Increased air trapping based on radiographic lung volumes predicts accelerated spirometry decline and progression to COPD in smokers without obstruction. |
