  1. COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, NK cells, natural killer cells
  2. Data are expressed as
  3. amean ± SD
  4. bmedian; 25–75th percentile
  5. P values: to evaluate the differences between the two groups, an independent t-test was used to analyze the normally distributed continuous variables; the Mann–Whitney U test was used to analyze the non-normally distributed variables
