Severe asthma subjects have increased physiologically measured air trapping. However, a similar study using CT measures of air trapping has not been performed. This study was designed to address two hypotheses: 1) air trapping, measured by multi-detector CT quantitative methodology, would be a predictor of a more severe asthma phenotype; and 2) historical, clinical, allergic, or inflammatory risk factors could be identified via multivariate analysis. Multi-detector CT scanning of a subset of the Severe Asthma Research Program subjects was performed at functional residual capacity. Air trapping was defined as 9.66% or more of the lung tissue less than −850 HU. Subjects who were defined as air trappers were then compared to non-trappers on clinical and demographic factors using both univariate and multivariate statistical analysis. Air trappers were significantly more likely to have a history of asthma-related hospitalizations, ICU visits and/or mechanical ventilation. Duration of asthma (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.08–1.87), history of pneumonia (OR 8.55, 95% CI 2.07–35.26), high levels of airway neutrophils (OR 8.67, 95% CI 2.05–36.57), air flow obstruction (FEV1/FVC) (OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.21–2.14) and atopy (OR 11.54, 95% CI 1.97–67.70), were identified as independent risk factors associated with the air trapping phenotype. Quantitative CT determined air trapping in asthmatic subjects identifies a group of individuals with a high risk of severe disease. Several independent risk factors for the presence of this phenotype were identified, perhaps most interestingly history of pneumonia, neutrophilic inflammation, and atopy.
