Relationship between the immunopositive area for KLF5 in the small airways and lung function. The relationship between the KLF5-positive area in the small airways and the values of FEV1 %predicted (a), FVC %predicted (b), and DLCO/VA %predicted (c) was investigated in the COPD group. r is the correlation coefficient; the lines and p values correspond to the fitted regression equation. FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC: forced vital capacity; DLCO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; VA: alveolar volume; N.S.: not significant
