A study has been made of the personality of 44 patients with chronic airways obstruction (using the Eysenck Personality Inventory), this being related to the difference between their observed Pvco(2) and that predicted from their F.E.V.(1). This was designed to test the hypothesis that those patients with a lower Pvco(2) than predicted were the more extravert.The results showed a significant correlation between extraversion and the departure of Pvco(2) from predicted Those patients having a lower Pvco(2) than predicted were more extravert than those with a Pvco(2) higher than predicted. There was no correlation between neuroticism and the Pvco(2).These results support the hypothesis that the personality of a patient may play an important part in determining the alveolar ventilation found in patients with chronic airways obstruction. Patients known as "pink puffers" could more appropriately be named "pugnacious pink puffers."
一项针对44例慢性气道阻塞患者的性格特征进行了研究（使用艾森克人格问卷），研究将他们实测的二氧化碳分压（Pvco(2)）与根据第一秒用力呼气量（F.E.V.(1)）预测的数值进行了对比。此项研究旨在验证以下假设：二氧化碳分压低于预测值的患者更倾向于外向型性格。结果显示，外向性与实测二氧化碳分压偏离预测值的程度之间存在显著相关性。实测二氧化碳分压低于预测值的患者比高于预测值的患者更加外向。神经质与二氧化碳分压之间没有相关性。这些结果支持了以下假设：患者的性格特征在慢性气道阻塞患者的肺泡通气情况中可能起到重要作用。被称为“粉喘型”的患者或许更适合被称作“好斗的粉喘型”。
