Contribution of D genotype to LAA score, Kco, and FEV1.0 independent of age and cigarette consumption in logistic regression analysis

DefinitionIndependent factorχ2p valueOdds ratio95% CI
CI= confidence interval; LAA=low attenuation area score; CC=lifelong cigarette consumption; Kco=carbon monoxide transfer coefficient; FEV1.0=forced expiratory volume in 1 second.
*p<0.05, **p<0.01.
Odds ratio and 95% CI correspond to having genotype D, aging every 10 years, or 10 pack years increase in CC.
