DISEASE 2<br />
Proposed a grading scheme for lower<br />
airway collapse<br />
Grade 1 – up to 30% reduction in diameter<br />
Grade 2 – 30-60%<br />
Grade 3 - >60%<br />
Each bronchus assigned individual score<br />
Laryngeal collapse correlated with more<br />
severe bronchial collapse<br />
Severity <strong>of</strong> collapse did not correlate with<br />
