Topological Analysis of the CT Based Parametric Response Map in a Large COPD Population: a COPDGene Study

Abstract In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) functional small airways disease (fSAD) has been identified as a transitional state between healthy lung and irremediable emphysema. Topological analysis of the CT-based parametric response map (PRM) spatially quantifies distribution and arrangement of fSAD and emphysema. We present a cross sectional analysis of topological PRM (tPRM) in 8,972 participants from the COPDGene study, covering a complete spectrum of COPD severity. We aimed to evaluate tPRM dynamics with respect to GOLD and test association of tPRM with pulmonary function using Spearman correlation and stepwise linear regression. Baseline CT and clinical data were included, and tPRM was computed as whole lung averages summarizing disease volume density, surface area, curvature and perforation (measured by Ⲭ). Strong correlation (ρ = -0.74, p < 0.001) was determined between degree of perforation in healthy lung (ⲬNorm) and fSAD regions (ⲬfSAD), transposing from predominantly healthy lung perforated with fSAD (GOLD 2, ⲬNorm = -0.84, ⲬfSAD = 0.47) to fSAD perforated with healthy lung (GOLD 4, ⲬNorm = 0.39, ⲬfSAD = -0.36). tPRM significantly (p < 0.05) contributed to regression modelling of FEV1/FVC (R2 = 0.71), where surface area of emphysema had the most notable effect (β = -0.49, p < 0.01). Thus, tPRM provided insight into topology of fSAD and emphysema in COPD and associated statistically with clinical lung function measures..
