, , 296-303. In 22 of the 117 patients with asthma, over 15 years of age, the chest radiograph showed overinflation (O pattern) and additional vascular changes in two (O pattern). Neither abnormality was seen in 60 controls. Abnormal radiographs were found in 31% of patients whose asthma started before the age of 15 but in none of those in whom it started over 30 years of age. The mean age of patients with abnormal radiographs was 24·6 years, compared with 40·1 years for those with normal films. Radiographic changes bore no relation to duration of disease. In some cases the abnormality persisted; in others it was present only during the acute episode.

在117名年龄超过15岁的哮喘患者中，22例胸部X线片显示过度充气（O型），其中2例还有其他血管改变（O型）。60名对照者均未发现这些异常。哮喘始于15岁之前的患者中，31%的胸部X线片异常，而哮喘始于30岁之后的患者中无一例异常。胸部X线片异常的患者平均年龄为24.6岁，而X线片正常的患者平均年龄为40.1岁。X线片改变与病程无关。在某些病例中，异常持续存在；在另一些病例中，仅在急性发作期出现异常。
