SHI while clinically stable was a significant predictor of infective exacerbations (β = 0.035, p = 0.035), and FEV 1 %Predicted was borderline significant (β = − 0.049, p = 0.051; Table 3 ).

Macrophage iron and susceptibility to infection In experiments with SM isolated from individuals from the COPD cohort, there was a near-significant correlation between SHI and the growth rate of H.influenzae at 0.5 h (r = 0.60, p = 0.075, Spearman correlation; see Additional file 7 : Fig.
