Is There a Correlation between New Scoring Systems and Systemic Inflammation in Stable Bronchiectasis?

Table 4

Correlation coefficients and values for FACED and BSI scores and study variables.

	FACED score		BSI score
	r		r
FVC (%)	−0.70	<0.0001	−0.62	<0.0001
FEV1 (%)	−0.73	<0.0001	−0.67	<0.0001
WBC (/mm^3)	0.16	0.075	0.01	0.850
CRP	0.30	0.001	0.30	0.001
N/L ratio	−0.02	0.822	−0.11	0.238
BMI (kg/m^2)	−0.32	0.002	−0.21	0.047

FACED (F: forced expiratory volume in 1 second, A: age, C: colonization, E: number of affected lobes, D: dyspnea); BSI, Bronchiectasis Severity Index; FVC, forced vital capacity; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 second; N/L ratio, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio.
