From: The value of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) to determine exercise ventilatory inefficiency and dynamic hyperinflation in adult patients with cystic fibrosis

Fig. 3

Boxplots of HRCT variables according to the presence of associated ventilatory efficiency/inefficiency and/or presence or absence of dynamic hyperinflation ((top), ventilatory efficiency/inefficiency only (bottom left), and presence/absence of dynamic hyperinflation only (bottom right). Abbreviations: Vef and Vin indicates ventilator efficiency and inefficiency, respectively; DH, dynamic hyperinflation; T, total score; B, bronchiectasis score; AWT, airways wall thickening score; MP, mucous plugging score; P, parenchyma score; AT, air trapping score. a p value calculated between groups; b p < 0.05 versus patients with Vef and without DH; c p < 0.05 versus patients with Vin and without DH; d p value < 0.05 versus patients with Vef and with DH
