Abstract

Abstract

Objective To investigate the relationship between spectral computed tomography （CT） iodine-based values and pulmonary ventilation function parameters in patients with early-stage pulmonary small airway dysfunction. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 152 patients with early-stage pulmonary small airway dysfunction admitted to Nanjing Mingji Hospital from August 2021 to December 2024, designated as the observation group. Additionally, 152 cases of clinical data from healthy individuals who underwent physical examination at the hospital during the same period were collected as the control group. All subjects had complete data including spectral CT imaging data, pulmonary function test data, and general information. Spectral CT parameters and pulmonary function parameters between the two groups were compared. The value of spectral CT iodine-based values in screening for early-stage pulmonary small airway dysfunction was analyzed, and the correlation between spectral CT iodine-based values and forced expiratory volume in one second （FEV1）/forced vital capacity （FVC） in patients with pulmonary small airway dysfunction was examined. Results FEV1/FVC, FEF50%, FEF75%, and FEF25%～75% in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group （P < 0.05）. Normalized iodine concentration in arterial phase （nICAP） and normalized iodine concentration in venous phase （nICVP） values on spectral CT in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group （P < 0.05）. Logistic regression analysis revealed that increases in FEV1/FVC, FEF50%, FEF75%, FEF25%～75%, nICAP, and nICVP were all protective factors against early-stage pulmonary small airway dysfunction （OR < 1, P < 0.05）. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the area under the curve （AUC） for spectral CT nICAP and nICVP values and FEV1/FVC, FEF50%, FEF75%, FEF25%～75% in screening for early-stage pulmonary small airway dysfunction were all greater than 0.50, with combined screening achieving an AUC greater than 0.90, indicating high screening value. Bivariate Pearson linear correlation analysis showed no correlation between FEV1/FVC and nICAP and nICVP in patients with early-stage pulmonary small airway dysfunction （r = 0.096, 0.076; P = 0.098, 0.189）, while positive correlations were found with FEF50%, FEF75%, and FEF25%～75% （P < 0.05）. Conclusion Spectral CT iodine-based values are correlated with pulmonary small airway dysfunction; however, no correlation exists between spectral CT iodine-based values and FEV1/FVC in patients with early-stage pulmonary small airway dysfunction.
