Association of tracheal diameter with respiratory function and fibrosis severity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients
Tracheal and main bronchial areas can be used as potential biomarkers in the assessment of disease severity and prognosis in IPF patients. In particular, the significant correlation of subcricoid and carina areas with both GAP index and FVC/DLCO ratio suggests that these measurements may be useful in the evaluation of disease progression.
