Neutrophilia is increased in groups with high COPD-related comorbidities. The neutrophil percentage of the peripheral blood in COPD patients with different numbers of comorbidities and CCI scores were analysed. a The neutrophil percentage was significantly increased in the high COPD-related comorbidity groups (Cor 2–3 and Cor ≥ 4) compared with the low comorbidity group (Cor 0–1). This comparison was analysed by one-way ANOVA, with post hoc analysis by Dunn’s multiple comparison test. The post hoc analysis in each subgroup comparison revealed the following significant differences: Cor 0–1 versus Cor 2–3, ***p < 0.0001; Cor 0–1 versus Cor ≥ 4, ***p < 0.0001; and Cor 2–3 versus Cor ≥ 4, *p < 0.05. b The neutrophil percentages in the high CCI subgroups (CCI 3–4, ≥ 5) were not significantly different from that in the low CCI subgroup (CCI 1–2). The post hoc analysis comparing all subgroups also revealed no significant differences. n.s.: not significant
