Figures & data
Notes: (A) In the mMRC score of 0–1, 2 and 3–4 groups, sIL-2R concentration was higher in patients with adverse outcomes than in those with good outcomes (P<0.05, P<0.05, P<0.001, respectively); Serum sIL-2R concentration was higher in patients with mMRC 3–4 than in those with mMRC 0–1 in adverse outcomes group (P<0.05); (B) In both GOLD 1–2 and GOLD 3–4 groups, sIL-2R concentration was higher in patients with adverse outcomes than in those with good outcomes (P<0.001, P<0.001, respectively); Serum sIL-2R concentration was higher in patients of adverse outcomes group than in those of good outcomes group in GOLD 1–2 (P<0.05); (C) In both the frequent and non-frequent exacerbation groups, the concentration of sIL-2R was higher in patients with adverse outcomes than in those with good outcomes (P<0.05, P<0.001, respectively); (D) In both the current and former smoker groups, the concentration of serum sIL-2R was higher in patients with adverse outcomes than in those with good outcomes (P<0.05, P<0.001, respectively).

Notes: (A) In both high and low FEV1%pred groups, the concentration of serum sIL-2R was higher in patients with adverse outcomes than in those with good outcomes (P<0.001,P<0.001, respectively); (B) In both high and low FEV1/FVC groups, the concentration of serum sIL-2R was higher in patients with adverse outcomes than in those with good outcomes (P<0.05, P<0.001, respectively); Serum sIL-2R concentration was higher in patients with low FEV1/FVC group than in those with high FEV1/FVC group of adverse outcomes (P<0.05).
Abbreviations: sIL-2R, soluble interleukin-2 receptor; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FEV1/FVC, forced expiratory volume in 1 second/force Vital Capacity.
