Blood Eosinophil Endotypes across Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Figure 6
Population distribution of eosinophil and neutrophil levels in acute, or stable groups and their proportions at each level in asthma, COPD or ACO patients. We differentiated acute and stable patients in asthma, COPD, and ACO groups according to eosinophils 0.3 × 109/L and neutrophils 7 × 109/L, respectively. The percentages showed the proportions of patients with different cell levels combinations in the total number of stable or acute patients, where blue and purple presented the percentage of eosinophils greater than or equal to 0.3 × 109/L; red and green presented the percentage of eosinophils less than 0.3 × 109/L; green and purple were the percentage of neutrophil levels greater than or equal to 7 × 109/L; red and blue were the percentage of neutrophil levels less than 7 × 109/L. The column height corresponds to the number of people in each group on the Y axis. (COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; ACO, asthma-COPD overlap; EOS, eosinophils; NEUT, neutrophils).
