Prognostic Value of Concomitant Bronchiectasis in Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Panbronchiolitis Patients on a Maintenance Therapy with Macrolides

Figure 2

Kaplan–Meier survival curve and log-rank test were used to examine the association between the concomitant bronchiectasis in DPB subjects and the time to exacerbation since the beginning of maintenance therapy with macrolides. The results showed that bronchiectasis remarkably potentiated the risk of exacerbation events.
