From: Differential DAMP release was observed in the sputum of COPD, asthma and asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) patients

Figure 3

Correlations of the concentrations of LL-37 in induced sputum with some lung function parameters ((A) FEV 1% predicted; (B) FEV1; (C) FEV1/FVC), sputum total cell count (D) and the percentage of sputum neutrophils (E) in all study subjects. Correlation coefficients were obtained by the Spearman rank method. FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC: forced vital capacity.
