Abstract
Postmortem studies have shown that airway wall thickening is present in asthmatic patients and may play a pathophysiologic role. We investigated the presence and characteristics of airway wall thickening in patients with asthma, using helical computed tomography. Eighty-one asthmatic patients and 28 healthy control subjects were studied cross-sectionally. Airway wall thickness was assessed by a validated method on the basis of wall area (WA), WA...
