  • Evaluation of lung capacity and diffusing capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    Objective To observe the changes in pulmonary function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with different GOLD grades, diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide in percent predicted value (DLCO%pred), and the relationship between DLCO%pred and hyperinflation parameter, the ratio of residual volume to total lung capacity (RV/TLC). Methods Their age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and lung function parameters were recorded. Group according to GOLD grade, and compare the lung function among different groups; With DLCO%pred 60% as the cut-off value, the lung function of each group was compared. Pearson and Spearman correlation determined the relationship between DLCO%pred and age, RV/TLC, and other factors. Results Four hundred and thirty-one patients were enrolled. With the increase of GOLD grade, the pulmonary function became worse (P<0.05). Compared with DLCO%pred ≥ 60%, the group with DLCO%pred<60% had lower BMI (t=–5.642, P<0.001) and worse pulmonary function (P<0.001). The correlation analysis showed that BMI (r=0.352, P<0.001), forced vital capacity in percent predicted value (FVC%pred) (r=0.349, P<0.001), forced expiratory volume in one second in percent predicted value (FEV1%pred) (r=0.414, P<0.001), the ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) (r=0.434, P<0.001), peak expiratory flow in percent predicted value (PEF%pred) (r=0.335, P<0.001), maximal mid expiratory flow in percent predicted value (MMEF%pred) (r=0.405, P<0.001), inspiratory capacity in percent predicted value (IC%pred) (r=0.301, P<0.001) were positively correlated with DLCO%pred; while RV/TLC (r=–0.328, P<0.001), GOLD grade (r=–0.430, P<0.001) were negatively correlated with DLCO%pred; However, there was no significant correlation between age (r=–0.012, P=0.810), sex (r=0.076, P=0.117) and DLCO%pred. Conclusions With the increase of GOLD grade, DLCO%pred decreases, and RV/TLC increases. RV/TLC is negatively correlated with DLCO%pred. Attaching importance to the evaluation of hyperinflation and diffusing capacity of COPD patients is helpful in evaluating COPD in all aspects, and has particular clinical significance.
