Weak negative correlations were seen for all other subjects except asthmatics. Overall, the DPD\/IPD ratio was significantly correlated with Pa<jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/tex2gif-inf-10.gif\" xlink:title=\"urn:x-wiley:87556863:media:PPUL1950100106:tex2gif-inf-10\"\/> (r = \u22120.53; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.0001). The DPD\/IPD ratio was correlated with other lung function abnormalities (increased RV, decreased FEV<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>, and FEF<jats:sub>25%\u201375%<\/jats:sub>) only for the subjects with cystic fibrosis. We conclude that digital clubbing is associated with hypoxemia and airway obstruction. The relation is seen most clearly in subjects with cystic fibrosis, possibly reflecting the prolonged duration of hypoxemia. Digital clubbing is rarely seen in normoxic subjects.
