Analysis of airway structural parameters in Han Chinese adults: a prospective cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Establishing reference ranges for central airway parameters and exploring their influencing factors in Han Chinese non-smoking adults.

Methods

This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on Han Chinese non-smoking adults who underwent chest CT scans at the Tongzhou Campus of Dongzhimen Hospital Affiliated with the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine between September 2022 and November 2022. The SYNAPSE 3D image analysis software was utilized, enabling the extraction of critical parameters such as central airway length, airway wall thickness (AWT), airway lumen area (ALA), and subcarinal angle (SCA). Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis and multiple linear regression analysis methods were employed to evaluate the relationship between central air
