Figures & data
Notes: Patients with no (□), mild ([]), and moderate or severe (■) exacerbations. Bars on left: proportions of patients without, and with mild, and moderate or severe exacerbations during the first year of follow-up. Bars on right: respective incidence of exacerbations in these groups during the second year of follow-up.
Notes: Patients in the exacerbation-free (••▲••), mild exacerbator (–○–), and moderate/severe exacerbator (–■–) groups. Moderate/severe exacerbator vs exacerbation free, P<0.001; mild exacerbator vs exacerbation free, P=1.000; and mild exacerbator vs moderate/severe exacerbator, P=0.001.
Abbreviation: FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 second.
