We hypothesize that this results from dissimilarities between the components of large and small airway disease in CF and PCD. These differences may in part lead to the different prognosis in these two neutrophilic airway diseases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.201304-0800oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,7,1]],"date-time":"2013-07-01T15:23:23Z","timestamp":1372692203000},"page":"545-549","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":84,"title":["Lung Clearance Index and High-Resolution Computed Tomography Scores in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"188","author":[{"given":"Samantha J.","family":"Irving","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatrics and"},{"name":"Department of Respiratory Paediatrics and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Ives","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatrics and"},{"name":"Department of Gene Therapy, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gwyneth","family":"Davies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatrics and"},{"name":"Department of Gene Therapy, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jackie","family":"Donovan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gene Therapy, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anthony J.","family":"Edey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, London, United Kingdom; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simon S.","family":"Gill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, London, United Kingdom; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arjun","family":"Nair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, London, United Kingdom; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clare","family":"Saunders","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gene Therapy, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nevin T.","family":"Wijesekera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, London, United Kingdom; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric W.
