Association of lung field area with mortality in Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease: a longitudinal cohort study
Decreased LFA is an independent risk factor for mortality in patients with MAC lung disease, offering better prognostic utility than traditional markers of disease severity such as cavity lesions. These findings highlight the potential for LFA to guide clinical management and risk stratification in MAC lung disease.
