Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Airway mucus plugs on computed tomography (CT) are an imaging biomarker of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) associated with airflow limitation, respiratory symptoms, and poor prognosis. However, clinical phenotypes relevant to mucus plugs, including sarcopenia and frailty, are not fully elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the association between mucus plugs, sarcopenia, and frailty using a prospective observational COPD-enriched smoker cohort.
