A potential interaction (multiplicative effect) between smoking and inactive TB in the development of airflow limitation was identified, with marginal significance ( P = 0.054).

did not reach statistical significanceno p-value reported

Although the inactive TB-smoking interaction did not reach statistical significance, the risk of airflow limitation due to inactive TB increased clearly as the amount of lifetime smoking increased: the OR for airflow limitation by inactive TB was 2.77 (95% CI, 2.24 to 3.43) in never-smokers, but it increased to 3.13 (95% CI 2.61 to 3.76) in smokers of 10 pack-years and 3.54 (95% CI 2.96 to 4.24) in those of 20 pack-years ( Fig 4 ).
